Profusely illustrated with 88 large illustrations and 135 illustrative head and tailpieces by Walter Crane. 1712 pages in total he 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, The Folio Society, 2011 Limited Numbered Edition 114/1000. hardcover

Upton's edition was the first attempt at an original-spelling and an annotated text. "The extensive notes tracing sources and identifying historical personages are still valuable; all later annotators are indebted to Upton's erudition." Radcliffe Spenser and the Tradition: English Poetry 1579-1830 William Kent was a skilled designer and decorator but a poor painter and draughtsman and despite their energy and directness his designs for The Faerie Queene are not wholly successful they were severely criticised by Horace Walpole in his Anecdotes of Painting in England. But the subjects represented contain many interesting reflections of Kent's involvement with picturesque gothic architecture and garden design including such romantic structures as the Hermitage and Merlins Cave a thatched mock-gothic building housing a library for Queen Caroline at Richmond. John Moore Paget of Cranmore Hall Somerset inherited from his father a "library of curious and valuable books and a decided taste for bibliology. A book-hunter from his youth his constant delight in after life was to search old book-stalls and add from time to time some scarce or quaint old work or rare engraving to his increasing collection."
