Description
"The general end, therefore, of all [The Faerie Queene], is to fashion a gentleman or noble person in virtuous and gentle discipline: which for that I conceived should be most plausible and pleasing, being coloured with an historical fiction, the which the most part of men delight to read."
Hailed as one of the most influential poems in the English language, Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene is an epic masterpiece of Arthurian romance. Broken into six books, the poem follows the story of seven knights: the Redcrosse Knight, Sir Guyon, Lady-Knight Britomart, Triamond, Cambell, Sir Artegall and Sir Califore; all on quests in search of virtue.
Professionally typeset with a beautifully designed cover, this edition of The Faerie Queene is an epic of literary achievement reimagined for the modern reader.
