TRULY FINE COPIES OF THIS BEAUTIFUL PRINTING OF SPENSER'S FAIRIE QUEENE ONE OF THE GREATEST WORKS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. Edmund Spenser stands with William Shakespeare and John Milton in the history of English poetry and litereature. He is recognized as one of the premier craftsmen of modern English verse from its infancy and one of the greatest poets in the language. Spenser was known to his contemporaries as "the prince of poets” and was said by them to be "as great in English as Virgil in Latin”. He was greatly preferred over Shakespeare by Queen Elizabeth and many others of the day. He left behind his masterful essays in every genre of poetry from pastoral and elegy to epithalamion and epic. A century later John Milton would call Spenser "a better teacher than Aquinas” and was greatly influenced by him. Since then generations of readers have admired his subtle use of language his imagination his immense classical and religious learning and "his unerring ability to synthesize and ultimately to delight”. THE FAERIE QUEEN is Spenser’s best known work and arguably his best. It is especially notable for its form: it was the first work written in what is now called Spenserian stanza and is also one of the longest poems in the English language. An allegorical work written in praise of Queen Elizabeth I it is largely symbolic the poem follows several knights in an examination of several virtues. It found not surprisingly great political favour with Elizabeth I and was such a public success that it quickly became Spenser's defining work. The last six books of the twelve Spenser intended were never written though two cantos noted as the Seventh and Eighth Bookes appear here. for J. Brindley, in New Bond-Street and S.

1613réf. 4533London: By Humphrey Lownes for Mathew Lownes 1611- 1613. FIRST COLLECTED EDITION second issue see below for issue points. Hardcover. Fine. Bound in 19th c. sprinkled calfskin gilt hinges discreetly repaired mild wear to corners and extremities. The boards are ruled in gold with shell ornaments at the corners and a gilt arabesque at the center. The text itself is in very nice condition lightly pressed with a few trivial blemishes and small rust holes to four leaves F3 X1-2 C6. The main title page is framed by a fine ornamental woodcut border McKerrow & Ferguson 212. Every canto of the “Faerie Queene” is introduced by an elaborate four-part woodcut frame and concludes with a historiated tail-piece. The “Shepheard's Calendar” is illustrated with twelve woodcut vignettes one for each month. The first issue of Spenser’s collected works appeared in 1611. In the earliest copies the publisher Mathew Lownes used the remaining sheets from his 1609 folio edition of the “Faerie Queene” together with a new title page and dedicatory leaf. Spenser’s other works were then printed in the same format to complete the collected edition. In 1612 the 1609 “Faerie Queene” sheets having run out the poem was re-set and printed anew with the t.p. to the second part dated 1612 and its colophon dated "16012" as in this copy. This issue also includes “Mother Hubberd’s Tale” which had been omitted in the first issue in order not to offend William Cecil whose father Lord Burghley Spenser had satirized in that poem. “Since Cecil died in 1612 the last objection to the republication of that work was removed and so copies of it were separately printed and inserted in those copies of the 1611 works that remained on hand.”Pforzheimer 972 The Omission of ‘Mother Hubberd’s Tale” from the 1611 Collected Works of Spenser: “Two years after Matthew Lownes had issued the first folio edition of the ‘Faerie Queen’ he decided to issue a collected edition of Spenser’s works. Having a number of unsold copies of the 1609 ‘Faerie Queen’ still on hand he determined to use those copies by including them in the collected edition in lieu of a 1611 reprint of the same. In order to effect this end he printed a general title and dedicatory leaf on a single sheet unsigned and so was enabled thus to make-up copies of a collected edition by cancelling the title of the 1609 edition and adding a 1611 edition of the remaining parts. “The 1591 edition of Spenser’s ‘Complaints’ having been officially suppressed on account of the attack on lord Burghley contained in the ‘Mother Hubberd’s Tale’ and in certain passages of the ‘Ruines of Time’ Lownes was not free to include the contents of that volume in this collected edition without obtaining official permission. By 1611 the matter had long blown over and Burghley the object of the satire was now dead but in deference to Sir Robert Cecil his son it was considered advisable to omit the offending satire and to revise the objectionable passages in the ‘Ruines of Time’. Therefore some copies e.g. the present of the 161 edition that were sold soon after publication did not contain the ‘Mother Hubberd’s Tale’ but since Cecil died in 1612 the last objection to the re-publication of that work was removed and so copies of it were separately printed and inserted in those copies that remained on hand.”Pforzheimer 972.
