195310384<p>The Heritage Press New York 1953. First edition 'thus'. HC VG. Beautiful pictoral cover in peach tan and green. Clean copy throughout. Introduction by John Hayward. Decorations drawn by John Austen. Illustrations engraved in wood by Agnes Miller Parker. The original work was first published in two parts in 1590 and 1596. The Heritage Press New York: In the year of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. Of note: "Edmund Spenser originally intended for <em>The Faerie Queene</em> to be a massive epic poem with twelve books each focused on a different moral virtue. However he only managed to complete and publish the first six books before his death in 1599." Therefore the presence of a "First book" through "The Seventh book" in this edition means this is the complete surviving work as written by Spenser. The overall plan for twelve books was never fulfilled.</p> The Heritage Press hardcover
