Edmund Spenser
The Faerie Queene. LIMITED NUMBERED EDITION. The Text of the 1596 Edition. In Two Volumes.
London Cambridge University Press 1909 Limited Numbered Edition 10/350. Large Hardbacks approx 12.5 x 9 inches. In full vellum fine bindings With gilt lettering to spines and gilt lettering and decorations to fronts. Top page edges gilt. In very good near fine condition. Some minor darkening and handling marks to vellum on covers. Else clean and smart. Bookplates to endpapers “William B. Broadmead.” Numbered opposite main title pages. One or two occasional very minor light foxing spots and handling marks else pages all very clean and tight throughout. Page edges rough cut. Else very good clean and tight copies. 2 volumes: 544 & 494pp. With decorative tailpiece designs. The text here given of Books I to VI is that of the edition of 1596 in two volumes quarto. Books I to III are the second edition which had already appeared in 1590. Books IV to VI were printed for the first time in 1596. The fragment of Book VII is from the folio edition of 1609. The Letter written to Sir Walter Raleigh and the verses addressed to and by Spenser are from the edition of 1590. The sixteenth century was the golden age of English poetry. Edmund Spenser burned to create an English equivalent to Virgil’s Aeneid. Instead of lauding the Caesars he would glorify Elizabeth the Virgin Queen. Where Virgil connected Rome to the heroic past of Troy Spenser would forge a link between Tudor England and the mythological age of King Arthur. The result was The Faerie Queene a rich allegory which elevated Protestant virtues through the medium of a romantic chivalric epic. Today the power of Spenser’s story and the beauty of his verse still live in ‘famous memory’. London, Cambridge University Press, 1909 Limited Numbered Edition 10/350. hardcover

Edmund Spenser
The Faerie Queen
<p>The Heritage Press New York 1953. First edition 'thus'. HC VG. Beautiful pictoral cover in peach tan and green. Clean copy throughout. Introduction by John Hayward. Decorations drawn by John Austen. Illustrations engraved in wood by Agnes Miller Parker. The original work was first published in two parts in 1590 and 1596. The Heritage Press New York: In the year of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. Of note: "Edmund Spenser originally intended for <em>The Faerie Queene</em> to be a massive epic poem with twelve books each focused on a different moral virtue. However he only managed to complete and publish the first six books before his death in 1599." Therefore the presence of a "First book" through "The Seventh book" in this edition means this is the complete surviving work as written by Spenser. The overall plan for twelve books was never fulfilled.</p> The Heritage Press hardcover

Dedicating his work to Elizabeth I Spenser brilliantly united Arthurian romance and Italian renaissance epic to celebrate the glory of the Virgin Queen. Each book of the poem recounts the quest of a knight to achieve a virtue: the Red Crosse Knight of Holinesse who must slay a dragon and free himself from the witch Duessa; Sir Guyon Knight of Temperance who escapes the Cave of Mammon and destroys Acrasia’s Bowre of Bliss; and the lady-knight Britomart’s search for her Sir Artegall revealed to her in an enchanted mirror. Although composed as a moral and political allegory The Faerie Queene’s magical atmosphere captivated the imaginations of later poets from Milton to the Victorians.This edition includes the letter to Raleigh in which Spenser declares his intentions for his poem the commendatory verses by Spenser’s contemporaries and his dedicatory sonnets to the Elizabethan court and is supplemented by a table of dates and a glossary.</p> Longman hardcover
