Not illustrated. 1842 edition. Excerpt: ... equall conquest wonne, And monstrous tyrants with his club subdewed; The club of Iustice dread with kingly powre endewed. 1 Intreat, treat. 2 Sient, scion. 3 Fordmuus, ruined.. III. And such was he of whom I have to tell, The Champion of true Iustice, Artegall: VVhom (as ye lately mote remember well) An hard adventure, which did then befall, Into redoubted perill forth did call; That was, to succour a distressed Dame Whom a strong Tyrant did uniustly thrall, And from the heritage, which she did clame, .Did with strong hand withhold; Grantorto was his name. IV. Wherefore the Lady, which Irena hight,1 Did to the Faerie Queene her way addresse, To whom complayning her afliicted plight, She her besought of gratious redresse: That soveraine queene, that mightie emperesse, Whose glorie is to aide all suppliants pore, And of weake princes to be patronesse, Chose Artegall to right her to restore; For that to her he seem'd best skild in righteous lore. V. For Artegall in iustice was upbrought 1 Hight, was called. III. 2.--fl1'tegall. In Artegal, Spenser is conjectured to have drawn Arthur, Lord Grey of Wilton, who was lord lieutenant of Ireland, and to whom Spenser was secretary. III. 9.--Grantarto. This is compounded of two Italian words, and means great wrong. "Though Grantorto may signify tyranny and injustice in general, he may signify sometimes the king of Spain."--Urron. IV. 1.--Irena. "Irena, or Irene, is an anagram, or tmnsposition of the letters of Icrne, the ancient name of Ireland."--Cuuncn.

A concordance to the rhymes of The Faerie Queene
Author: Richard Danson BrownPublisher: Manchester University Press
ISBN: 1526158590
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 568
Book Description
This book is the first ever concordance to the rhymes of Spenser’s epic. It gives the reader unparalleled access to the formal nuts and bolts of this massive poem: the rhymes which he used to structure its intricate stanzas. As well as the main concordance to the rhymes, the volume features a wealth of ancillary materials, which will be of value to both professional Spenserians and students, including distribution lists and an alphabetical listing of all the words in The Faerie Queene. The volume breaks new ground by including two studies by Richard Danson Brown and J. B. Lethbridge, so that the reader is given provocative analyses alongside the raw data about Spenser as a rhymer. Brown considers the reception of rhyme, theoretical models and how Spenser’s rhymes may be reading for meaning. Lethbridge in contrast discusses the formulaic and rhetorical character of the rhymes.
The Faerie Queene, Book Six and the Mutabilitie Cantos
Author: Edmund SpenserPublisher: Hackett Publishing
ISBN: 1603840265
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 263
Book Description
Book Six and the incomplete Book Seven of The Faerie Queene are the last sections of the unfinished poem to have been published. They show Spenser inflecting his narrative with an ever more personal note, and becoming an ever more desperate and anxious author, worried that things were falling apart as Queen Elizabeth failed in health and the Irish crisis became ever more terrifying. The moral confusion and uncertainty that Calidore, the Knight of Courtesy, has to confront are symptomatic of the lack of control that Spenser saw everywhere around him. Yet, within such a troubling and disturbing work there are moments of great beauty and harmony, such as the famous dance of the Graces that Colin Clout, the rustic alter ego of the poet himself, conjures up with his pipe. Book Seven, the Two Cantos of Mutabilitie, is among the finest of Spenser's poetic works, in which he explains the mythical origins of his world, as the gods debate on the hill opposite his Irish house. Whether order or chaos triumphs in the end has been the subject of most subsequent critical debate.
