1778153521778 Fairy Queen Edmund Spenser Poetry Faerie Queene Vellum 8v SET w/ Provenance"For there is nothing lost that may be found if sought." ― Edmund Spenser The Faerie QueeneEdmund Spenser is one of the most well-known 16th-century English poets. His most-famous poem 'The Faerie Queene' is one of fantasy and allegory that celebrated the Tudors and Queen Elizabeth. Spenser explores human emotion consciousness and conflict and drew much of his influence from Italian greats Ariosto and Tasso. He embodied Elizabethan values and British history but he also wanted to have literary freedom balancing history and myth. Samuel Johnson was well-versed with 'The Faerie Queene' as it was a 'useful source for obsolete and archaic words' as he was organizing his 'Dictionary'.This 1787 edition of the poetical works of Spenser was published as part of John Bell's edition of 'The Poets of Great Britain.' This set featured 'The Faerie Queene' as well as a fine biographical sketch of Spenser himself.Item number: #15352Price: $750SPENSER EdmundThe poetical works of Edmund Spenser .

TRULY FINE COPIES OF THIS BEAUTIFUL PRINTING OF SPENSER'S FAIRIE QUEENE ONE OF THE GREATEST WORKS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. Edmund Spenser stands with William Shakespeare and John Milton in the history of English poetry and litereature. He is recognized as one of the premier craftsmen of modern English verse from its infancy and one of the greatest poets in the language. Spenser was known to his contemporaries as "the prince of poetsâ€ and was said by them to be "as great in English as Virgil in Latinâ€. He was greatly preferred over Shakespeare by Queen Elizabeth and many others of the day. He left behind his masterful essays in every genre of poetry from pastoral and elegy to epithalamion and epic. A century later John Milton would call Spenser "a better teacher than Aquinasâ€ and was greatly influenced by him. Since then generations of readers have admired his subtle use of language his imagination his immense classical and religious learning and "his unerring ability to synthesize and ultimately to delightâ€. THE FAERIE QUEEN is Spenserâ€™s best known work and arguably his best. It is especially notable for its form: it was the first work written in what is now called Spenserian stanza and is also one of the longest poems in the English language. An allegorical work written in praise of Queen Elizabeth I it is largely symbolic the poem follows several knights in an examination of several virtues. It found not surprisingly great political favour with Elizabeth I and was such a public success that it quickly became Spenser's defining work. The last six books of the twelve Spenser intended were never written though two cantos noted as the Seventh and Eighth Bookes appear here. for J. Brindley, in New Bond-Street and S. Wright, Clerk of his Majesty's Works.... hardcover
