Ralph Knevet's Supplement of the Faery Queene (1635) is a narrative
and allegorical work, which weaves together a complex collection of
tales and episodes, featuring knights, ladies, sorcerers, monsters,
vertiginous fortresses and deadly battles - a chivalric romp in
Spenser's cod medieval style. The poem shadows recent English
history, and the major military and political events of the Thirty
Years War. But the Supplement is also an ambitiously intertextual
poem, weaving together materials from mythic, literary, historical,
scientific, theological, and many other kinds of written sources.
Its encyclopaedic ambitions combine with Knevet's historical focus
to produce an allegorical epic poem of considerable interest and
power. This new edition of Knevet's Supplement, the first scholarly
text of the poem ever published, situates it in its literary,
historical, biographical, and intellectual contexts. An extensive
introduction and copious critical commentary, positioned at the
back of the book, will enable students and scholars alike to access
Knevet's complicated and enigmatic meanings, structures, and
allusions. -- .
