One of the few theological formulas of medieval times to survive
the scrutiny of the Reformation was that of the infernal triad of
the sins of the Flesh, the World, and the Devil. Through a close
analysis of the structural and thematic role that this triad plays
in Books I and II of the Faerie Queene and in Paradise Lost,
Paradise Regained, and Samson Agonistes, Patrick Cullen explores
the imaginative continuity between two of the greatest poets of the
English Renaissance, Edmund Spenser and John Milton. By presenting
the two poets in a single focus. Professor Cullen demonstrates the
profound indebtedness of Milton to Spenser, a relationship which
has not received due scholarly attention, despite Milton's praise
of Spenser as "a better teacher than Aquinas" and his admission
according to Dryden, that Spenser was his "original." Professor
Cullen's new approach allows him to define a clear allegorical
lineage between some of the major poems of the period,
demonstrating the imaginative affinity of Spenser and Milton with
great concreteness and specificity. Originally published in 1975.
The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand

while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase

books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in
1905.
