About this listen

This remarkable poem, dedicated to Queen Elizabeth I, was Spenser's finest achievement. The first epic poem in modern English, The Faerie Queene combines dramatic narratives of chivalrous adventure with exquisite and picturesque episodes of pageantry. At the same time, Spenser is expounding a deeply felt allegory of the eternal struggle between Truth and Error....

Masterful reading of a masterful epic

The Faerie Queene is not for the classics day tripper. It is a serious epic that ranges through the zodiac of allegorical figurations of vice and virtue. If you have a good sense of humour and some patience, this excellent reading will certainly reward you.
