Abstract
This paper examines the life of Edmund Spenser, who was viewed as a love and pastoral poet and also a classical author. It looks at how Spenser?s life ran almost identically to the Elizabethan Age, from his birth in a poor family in London to his religious and political views to his eventual move to Ireland, where he wrote his most famous piece, "The Faerie Queen". It discusses how "The Faerie Queen" contains six books and a fragment of a seventh and how, with each book, a virtue is introduced. A story then unfolds to explain how the hero of that particular book obtains the virtue as his ultimate prize. The focus of the paper is on Book One and the virtue of holiness, which was dedicated to Queen Elizabeth I. It shows how his use and skill with ancient language coupled with his creation, the Spenserian stanza, presents the reader with a delightful look at medieval England.
From the Paper
"When she finishes the story she starts to faint. The knight comforts her and vows to rescue her hero. They all leave together with the wise dwarf leading the way. Even though Una has been abandoned, misjudged, and betrayed by the man she loves she remains steadfast. She still loves him and wants to free him from his bondage by the giant. On a moral level here she still represents purity and truth. She has never wavered from either although her errant lover certainly has. On the religious level she represents the true church. She is forgiving and welcomes home the worst of sinners. On the historical level she is the Protestant Church."

From the Paper
"Spenser received a fine humanist education according to the standards of his day, en route to what is now Pembroke College, Cambridge, in 1569. He belonged to a generation raised on stories of the excesses during the short reign of 'Bloody Mary' (1553-1558) in the whole scale persecution of Protestants, as part of her effort to reverse Henry VIII's break from the Church of Rome. As Spenser completed his bachelor's degree in 1573 and a master's degree in 1576, Ireland had become a religious battleground, a charged colonial environment in which Spenser would spend most of his career. Throughout the first four books of The Faerie Queene one finds a great deal of Protestant imagery in terms of kinds of individual virtue, the forces of temptation and human weaknesses to which the greatest of persons can succumb, Book I devoted to the virtue of Holiness, Book II to Temperance, Book III to the virtue of chastity, and IV to friendship. The next book gives way to a long discussion of justice and what is not justice, and the merits of when it is seen to be effected. Spenser carried on to more political themes in the unitary contributions of the Tudors and, of course, the attainments of Queen Elizabeth I who is referred to in Book I as Lucifera, then as Gloriana and in Books III and IV as Belphoebe, too."

Abstract
This paper explains that Edmund Spenser's "The Faerie Queene" is the story of the knight Redcrosse, who undertakes a quest that is both spiritual and physical and of Una, who travels with him, to help him out of danger in his fight. The author points out that truth, as represented by Una, evidently plays an important role in Book 1 because Una and the Knight love each other romantically and their love is true. The paper relates that truth also has a wider and more important meaning for both characters because truth is the very life of the Knight.
From the Paper
"Upon leaving his anchor to truth, Redcrosse, meets a combination of physical and spiritual dangers. Duessa, a witch, appears as an innocent damsel accompanied by Sansfoy. Sansfoy in the allegory represents a lack of faith. Redcrosse easily slays him, apparently rescuing Duessa, who pretends to be Fidessa. In Stanza 34 an enchanted tree, who is in reality a man called Fradubio, attempts to warn Redcrosse of the deceit, Duessa further leads the Knight astray by falling into a faint, from which the Knight revives her with kisses."

"The Faerie Queene", 2008.

Abstract
This paper discusses how Edmund Spenser's "The Faerie Queene" is one of the greatest allegorical poems ever written in English and how the religious symbolism connected with the poem is practically the key of the entire allegory. In particular, the paper examines how the way in which Spenser represents nature in his poem is very significant precisely because the text is an allegory in which the real, natural setting is symbolic. Furthermore, the paper attempts to show that Spenser represents nature in two adverse ways which illuminate his vision of the world. The paper concludes that Spenser represents nature as a sympathetic force which is part of God's divine creation and which is moreover able to reflect the spiritual qualities of a certain being.
From the Paper
"Nature is therefore itself a part of the great allegory. In fact, Spenser's allegorical poem is a synthesis of his vision of the world, comprising the forces that drive the world and human behavior at the same time. The poem relates mainly the adventures of Redcorsse, the errant knight of Holinesse, and Una, his female companion and the symbol of truth. The Faerie Queene is no less than Queen Elizabeth of England, whom Spenser regarded as a holy person because she was the defendant of Protestantism against the corrupted Catholicism. The allegory opposes these two religions, making it clear that Protestantism is the right religious view. In the first Book of the poem, nature is depicted in its entirely luxurious wilderness. There is a great array of mythological characters and beasts which are met, in turns, by the wandering knight. The divide between the natural and the unnatural forces obviously corresponds to that between good and evil. Although natural law is condemned by Puritanism, Spenser did not reject it. "

Abstract
The paper explores the character of Arthur as a satirical character. The religious themes prevalent in the poem are analyzed in the paper. The paper contends that the poem, "The Faerie Queene," has a strong satirical tone vis-a-vis Christianity and the way society interprets Christianity.
From the Paper
"Readers are aware that Arthur's consistent pattern of chivalry, and that there is a kind of unity in The Faerie Queene with Arthur as it's icon. For example, and this is not satire but rather the building of the strength of character: because Arthur is "greater than the other knights, his periodic intervention on their behalf carries a strong suggestion of a 'descent from heaven' (89) motif" (Nohrnberg, 1976). That motif is found in Book I as "the descent of grace and the condescension of the Word," Nohrnberg explains, and in Book II "the ministry of angels to fallen man" is also part of the building up of Arthur to not only be greater than the other knights, but, to be linked, probably, to the deity Christ."

"Faerie Queene", 2008.
An analysis of nature as a testing ground for the human soul in Book One of Edmund Spenser's "Faerie Queene."
1,563 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 51.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses Book One of Edmund Spenser's epic poem, "Faerie Queene," in which nature serves a primary purpose as a testing ground for the human soul. The paper also discusses the plot of the poem and the characters involved. It looks at the imagery and what it portrays about nature as a testing ground. The paper concludes that by the end of Canto Six, Spenser has established nature as the ultimate battle ground between good and evil in the human spirit.
From the Paper
"Nature is contrasted with the supernatural in Spenser's story, too. Shape-shifting beings, dragons, and sundry other phantasmagoric creatures populate the woods of the Faerie Queen. Spenser's depiction of dragons and other supernatural beasts suggests an interface between the natural world and human intelligence. The beasts are not part of the natural world but they live in it, just like human beings. Human beings are shown to be in the world but not of it; unlike the trees and beasts of the forests, human beings are not entirely comfortable in nature. They are also unlike the woodland gods, supernatural creatures who are wholly in tune with wilderness but who have yet to transcend the ignorance of the animal mind."

?The Faerie Queene?, 2002.

Abstract
The paper discusses that together the House of Holiness and the House of Pride, good and evil, in Edward Spenser?s epic novel, ?The Faerie Queene? contribute to the moral growth of every man. The author feels that Spenser, through his writings, seems to seek to encourage us to bypass the poem?s romantic indulgences and to seek out the poem?s allegorical significance instead.
From the Paper
"The Faerie Queen?s subjects in Faeryland are human beings, and endure the uncertainties and vicissitudes that people undergo in the ordinary, everyday world thereby, allowing the readers to ?relate? themselves to the characters in the novel. Faeryland is inhabited by both the good and the bad. There are knights who love and seek out the Faery Queen throughout the poem and there are bad creatures, people and monsters that represent various vices, evils and temptations."

The Faerie Queene, 2003.
A look at the "Faerie Queene" by Edmund Spencer and his use of appearances in the novel.

Abstract
Appearance has a strong influence on characters' actions. A person or thing may appear one way, but its meaning may be quite different. This paper shows how, in the "Faerie Queen", Edmund Spenser employs the use of appearances to give characters and passages in his poem double meanings. Sometimes the message of the poem is clearly expressed, but the second meaning is only suggested by subtle means. Other times throughout the poem we can clearly see during the development of the story how characters make irreversible mistakes based on appearance. Often times throughout the story things are not how they appear.
From the Paper
"Appearances can be deceiving. In Book II, we are introduced to Sir Guyon and the Palmor. Sir Guyon represents temperance or self-restraint. The Palmor is his mentor or the voice of reason. Sir Guyon has been commissioned by the Faerie Queene to search for and destroy the Bower of Bliss. The focus of Book II is the controlling of human desire. The force throughout book II that seems to be the underlying cause of misery is Acrasia, a beautiful enchantress. Book II centers around temptation. Many things tempt the characters throughout the poem because they appear so pleasing to the senses. We will see how over indulgence can divert a character away from his chosen path."

From the Paper
"Introduction
This essay is concerned with Edmund Spenser's Faerie Queene. In particular, the Redcrosse Knight and his confrontation with Despair will be examined and analyzed. Several questions must be answered: (1) Why do good and evil exist? (2) How was Despair able to bring the Redcrosse Knight to the point of suicide? (3) Why do the arguments of Despair prove so effective with the Redcrosse Knight? (4) What was the Redcrosse Knight's psychological state at this time? and (5) What does this incident have to do with the Knight's previous episodes of temptation?
The Redcrosse Knight meets Despair in Book I, Canto IX, XX-LIV. Although this poem was written on several allegorical levels, the main interest here is the moral allegory.
Out of the initial adventures in Book I, a figure known as..."

Abstract
This paper explains that Queen Victoria became Queen of England at the time when the monarchy was weak and unpopular; but, under her leadership, England underwent massive transformation culturally, socially, and politically. The author states that her death in 1910 marked the end of a very successful, challenging, and dynamic period in the history of England. The paper stresses that Queen Victoria?s reign became synonymous with revolution and change because she defied traditions and conventions to infuse a new spirit in the empire and the monarchy.
From the Paper
"The country Queen Victoria lovingly called jewel in her crown had turned into a battlefield where Indian mutineers were being killed everyday and British forces had resorted to harsher tactics to control the situation. The Queen on the other hand wanted peace in the Indian region and wanted Lord Cannings, the then Viceroy of India to listen to the grievances of Indian mutineers. She rejected the idea of harsher punishment for captured rebels for Queen Victoria believed this could lead to endless bloodshed and even greater resentment. It was a very tough time for British Crown as a little mistake on the part of the monarch could lead to numerous problems."

Abstract
This paper explains that the film "The Queen" is an intimate and often shocking portrayal of the Royal Family as it faces the great crisis of the death of Princess Diana. The author believes that film is very much like a Shakespearean play, especially "Hamlet". The paper relates that the entire focus of this film is the conflict between what Diana represented and what the monarchy actually is. The author concludes that, even though the Queen is depicted in the most human and ordinary way, the final emphasis is on her determination and personal power to meet the almost impossible challenge of modernizing the monarchy.
From the Paper
"The second part of the film takes place two months after the funeral of Diana. Referring to the monarchy, the Queen asks Blair if he believes the affection that people feel for this institution will be diminished because of Diana's death and the Royal Family's behavior during that time. Blair replies that he does not feel that people's attitudes will be negative. It is clear during this private conservation with Blair that the Queen intends to be in control. She wants information but not in the form of advice."
