The Faerie Queene was the first epic in English and one of the most influential poems in the language for later poets from Milton to Tennyson. Dedicating his work to Elizabeth I, Spenser brilliantly united medieval romance and renaissance epic to expound the glory of the Virgin Queen. The poem recounts the quests of knights including Sir Guyon, Knight of Constance, who resists temptation, and Artegall, Knight of Justice, whose story alludes to the execution of Mary Queen of Scots. Composed as an overt moral and political allegory, The Faerie Queene, with its dramatic episodes of chivalry, pageantry and courtly love, is also a supreme work of atmosphere, colour and sensuous description.
Epic poem that was published between 1590 and 1609 by Edmund Spenser. It is the central poem of the Elizabethan period and is one of the great long poems in the English language. A celebration of Protestant nationalism, it represents infidels and papists as villains, King Arthur as the hero, and married chastity as its central value. The form of The Faerie Queene fuses the medieval allegory with the Italian romantic epic. The plan was for 12 books (of which six were completed), focusing on 12 virtues exemplified in the quests of 12 knights from the court of Gloriana, the Faerie Queene, a symbol for Elizabeth I herself. Arthur, in quest of Gloriana's love, would appear in each book and come to exemplify Magnificence, the complete man. Spenser took the decorative chivalry of the Elizabethan court festivals and reworked it through a constantly shifting veil of allegory, so that the knight's adventures and loves build into a complex, multileveled portrayal of the moral life. The verse, a spacious and slow-moving nine-lined stanza (see SPENSERIAN STANZA), and Spenser's archaic language frequently rise to an unrivaled sensuousness. The first installment of the poem (Books I-III) was published in 1590; the second, which contained Books I-III and Books IV-VI, in 1596. The first folio edition, with Books I-VI and the MUTABILITIE CANTOS fragment, appeared in 1609. -- The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature

FL14 semester就是被你被摺騰死的!
評分啊!啊!五音步抑揚格,我在夢中會過...媽蛋,有的時候寫急瞭韻律節奏好像黝黝切剋鬧。。。完全不會希臘、拉丁的我絕對是個廢物,等我學會瞭,估計靠寫詩還是填不滿肚子,一笑。
評分竟意外地很好看好讀。這些knight, dragon,dwarf,cave的梗,在托爾金那還在玩????
評分英國文學的老師就說瞭一句:斯賓塞體,然後是詩人中的詩人,很遺憾一直都沒有多少關於本詩的簡介和推薦:仙後格羅麗婭娜派齣12名騎士周遊天下,每一名騎士具有一種美德,首席騎士亞瑟王身兼12種美德,所以得到仙後的愛。
評分隻完整地看瞭第一捲。整體上是一場有著明確目的和方嚮的奇幻旅程。遇到的每一個人都隻是一種品質的代號,就這樣不厭其煩地寫瞭五捲也是厲害。從形式上說斯賓塞詩行讀起來抑揚頓挫琅琅上口很適閤朗誦,bgm的話最好選中古民謠。
