Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is the first instalment of one of the most influential works of epic poetry in the English language, and helped define the genre for centuries to come. The Faerie Queene is an extended allegory in verse form, which explores moral virtues personified as knights on a quest. The author employs the conventions of medieval romance and chivalry to criticise complex issues such as religious persecution (the Protestant Reformation was a contemporary issue). The language is archaic and the verse metre challenging, but the vivid imagery, complex characters and deep philosophical and religious themes have secured its place as a cornerstone of English literature. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780282086251_0
