The Art of The Faerie Queene is the first book centrally focused on
the forms and poetic techniques employed by Spenser. It offers a
sharp new perspective on Spenser by rereading The Faerie Queene as
poetry which is at once absorbing, demanding and experimental.
Instead of the traditional conservative model of Spenser as poet,
this book presents the poem as radical, edgy and unconventional,
thus proposing new ways of understanding the Elizabethan poetic
Renaissance. The book moves from the individual words of the poem
to metre, rhyme and stanza form onto its larger structures of canto
and book. It will be of particular relevance to undergraduates
studying Elizabethan poetry, graduate students and scholars of
Renaissance poetry, for whom the formal aspect of the poetry has
been a topic of growing relevance in recent years. -- .
