The Faerie Queene

The Faerie Queene  – Edmund Spenser has always been the Poet’s Poet. He has been hailed by Selin court as “among the very greatest of our poets” because he created English Poetic diction, widened its scope, and gave it ease and flexibility. And speaking of Spenser’s masterpiece, The Faerie Queene, Emile Legouis says, “In all English Literature there is no other poem quite so rich, none which exhibits such a variety of interest.” This critical study of Book-I (cantos I-VI) of The Faerie Queene, originally prepared by Dr. Raghulkul Tilak, has now been thoroughly revised, edited and updated by Prof. Shakti Batra.
