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. Wright, Clerk of his Majesty's Works.... 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."
