The Faerie Queene by Edmond Spenser

In the magnificent romantic story of Edmund Spenser, The Faerie Queene, the author brings the reader with a naive red cross knight to find a sacred path. In the holy journey of the Red Cross knight he met two completely different women who influenced him to become a kind person. The first woman the Red Cross met was Una. Una is an innocent, pure and true woman. Una is beautiful and elegant, but it seems to be a powerful force to lead the Order of the Red Cross into a better life.

Spencer is known for his huge epic "Fairy Quin." Spencer devoting efforts to Queen Elizabeth (the role she represents) devised a work composed of 12 books. Prior to the death of 1599, Spencer was able to complete the first six books (and started the seventh draft).

In a completely allegorical context, this verse follows some knights in the investigation of several virtues. In Spencer's "Letters from the author", he says that the entire epic is "wrapped in a fable-like design" and that "the purpose behind Elf Quinn is" to make good and gentle discipline " It is pointed out. Is it a gentleman or a nobleman? "

Although the influence of Thomas Aquinas and the tradition of the medieval allegory can be observed, Spencer raised Aristotle as a source of these virtues. Since the credibility of the prediction made in his letter to Raleigh is not absolute, it is difficult to predict how this work will be done, as the first Faculty Quinn appeared in 1590.
