Fierce Wars and Faithful Loves by Edmund Spenser
Despite all of his acknowledged greatness, almost no one reads Spenser any more. Roy Maynard takes the first book of The Faerie Queene, exploring the concept of Holiness with the character of the Redcross Knight, and makes Spenser accessible again. He does this not by dumbing it down, but by deftly modernizing the spelling, explaining the obscurities in clever asides, and cuing the reader towards the right response. Dr. Gene Edward VeithAndrew Zurcher is a Fellow and Newton Trust Lecturer in English at Queens' College, Cambridge. He is the author of Spenser's Legal Language: Law and Poetry in Early Modern England (Boydell and Brewer, 2007), and is an editor of the forthcoming Oxford University Press Collected Works of Edmund
Spenser. Christopher Burlinson is a Fellow and College Lecturer in English at Jesus College, Cambridge. He previously held a Research Fellowship at Emmanuel College, Cambridge.
