Professor Alpers argues that Spenser's purpose in The Faerie Queene
was not to create a fictional world or to imitate action, but to
create and manipulate the reader's response. Individual episodes in
the poem are considered by the author as developing psychological
experience within the reader rather than as actions to be observed.
Part I is an examination of the technical poetic devices Spenser
used to develop the reader's response to the action of the poem.
Part II concerns interpretation, iconography, and source material.
Part III draws on the arguments and conclusions of the first two
parts to discuss, in a general way, the nature of Spenser's poetry,
including Spenserian allegory. Originally published in 1967. The
Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology
to again make available previously out-of-print books from the
distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These
editions preserve the original texts of these important books while
presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The
goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access
to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books
published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
