Spenser: The Faerie Queene

Spenser: The Faerie Queene by A C Hamilton

The Faerie Queene is a scholarly masterpiece that has influenced, inspired, and challenged generations of writers, readers and scholars since its completion in 1596. Hamilton's edition is itself, a masterpiece of scholarship and close reading. It is now the standard edition for all readers of Spenser. The entire work is revised, and the text of The Faerie Queene itself has been freshly edited, the first such edition since the 1930s. This volume also contains additional original material, including a letter to Raleigh, commendatory verses and dedicatory sonnets, chronology of Spenser's life and works and provides a compilation of list of characters and their appearances in The Faerie Queene.

“All in all, it is a major work of scholarship, combining a meticulously prepared text with splendid annotationIt will last, and will help inspire new generations of readers.” 

Tom MacFaul, Notes and Queries

 

“Hamilton's edition of the Faerie Queene is indispensable to any serious scholar of Spenser.”
