Detailed explanation-1: -The Faerie Queene (1590) is an epic poem by Edmund Spenser (c. 1552–1599), which follows the adventures of a number of medieval knights. The poem, written in a deliberately archaic style, draws on history and myth, particularly the legends of Arthur.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Faerie Queene is notable for its form: at over 36, 000 lines and over 4, 000 stanzas, it is one of the longest poems in the English language; it is also the work in which Spenser invented the verse form known as the Spenserian stanza.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The purpose of Edmund Spenser in writing The Faerie Queene was to pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth I and the Tudor dynasty.
Detailed explanation-4: -Love and Friendship. Throughout Edmund Spenser’s The Faerie Queene, there are two types of relationships that occur again and again. One is love (typically between a knight and a lady) and the other is friendship (often between equally matched knights who share common goals, or between knights and squires).
Detailed explanation-5: -Gloriana is the name of the Faerie Queene in the epic poem by Edmund Spenser. She is also occasionally referred to as Tanaquill.
