"Spenser's Faerie Queene is not often thought of as a closely articulated or well-proportioned work. Dr. Fowler explores the formal structure of the poem, and finds that, like a Renaissance palace, it has its principals of arrangement, though these may not longer be of an obvious nature. Adopting an iconographical approach, he shows that in his disposition of themes, narrative motifs, and emblems, Spenser has made use of definite schemes, such as the planetary week and the Pythagorean decad. Thus each book of the poem is governed by a planetary deity, whose attributes and exploits appear in its action, and whose influence helps 'to fashion a gentleman or noble person' by contributing some particular power or virtue. One of Dr. Fowler's most unexpected disclosures is that each character in a major episode, each river in a list of rivers, may correspond to a star in the appropriate constellation. Structural themes also govern the physical shape of the poem; so that numbers of stanzas and lines, as well as the positions of these units, constitute an organic pattern. Regarded in this way, the poem emerges as a cosmic model constructed in 'narrow verse' with masterful economy and subtlety. A concluding chapter deals with wider aspects of numerical composition, and discusses the principles of numerological analysis, which is becoming an indispensable instrument for the student of Renaissance Poetry." -Publisher.

An examination of the way in which the material world is depicted in The Faerie Queene. This book provides a radical reassessment of Spenserian allegory, in particular of The Faerie Queene, in the light of contemporary historical and theoretical interests in space and material culture. It explores the ambiguous and fluctuating attention to materiality, objects, and substance in the poetics of The Faerie Queene, and discusses the way that Spenser's creation of allegorical meaning makes use of this materiality, and transforms it.It suggests further that a critical engagement with materiality (which has been so important to the recent study of early modern drama) must come, in the case of allegorical narrative, through a study of narrative and physical space, and in this context it goes on to provide a reading of the spatial dimensions of the poem - quests and battles, forests, castles and hovels - and the spatial characteristics of Spenser's other writings. The book reaffirms theneed to place Spenser in his historical contexts - philosophical and scientific, military and architectural - in early modern England, Ireland and Europe, but also provides a critical reassessment of this literary historicism. Dr CHRISTOPHER BURLINSON is a Research Fellow in English at Emmanuel College, Cambridge.

This book was compiled by Alastair Fowler from notes left by C. S. Lewis at his death. It is Lewis's longest piece of literary criticism, as distinct from literary history. It approaches The Faerie Queene as a majestic pageant of the universe and nature, celebrating God as 'the glad creator', and argues that conventional views of epic and allegory must be modified if the poem is to be fully enjoyed and understood.
