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: -The purpose of Edmund Spenser in writing The Faerie Queene was to pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth I and the Tudor dynasty. In fact, the Faerie Queene herself represents Queen Elizabeth I. In The Faerie Queene, Spenser glorifies the Elizabethan virtues (such as holiness, chastity, and temperance) through allegory.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Faerie Queene is divided into six books, each one dedicated to a specific virtue: holiness, temperance, chastity, friendship, justice, and courtesy.
Detailed explanation-5: -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).
