Description: The Coronation Edition of The Faerie Queen by Edmund Spenser Heritage Press, New York 1953. Hardback in very good pre-owned vintage condition with some wear consistent with age and use. 992 pages. Illustrations were engraved in wood by artist, Agnes Miller Parker. 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.
