1886 Faerie Queene by Edmund Spenser Fairy Queen Tudor Fantasy Elizabeth I



“For there is nothing lost, that may be found, if sought.”

― Edmund Spenser, The Faerie Queene



Edmund 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 edition was published with impressive illustrations by Edward Corbould.
