INTRODUCTION The Place of The Faerie Queene in English Literature Spenser holds a secure place in the canon—insofar as there still is a canon—just below Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Milton This is partly because his longest work, The Faerie Queene (about 35,000 lines), is a fantastic and myth-imbued narrative, and one involving basic moral issues C S Lewis claims he never knew anyone who “used to like The Faerie Queene.” By this he meant that while some people not like it, one can never revert to distaste once one gets on Spenser’s wavelength Perhaps I should say “wavelengths,” for one of his strengths is his variety of moods, modes, or tones, ranging from the pious, through the heroic and patriotic, through the sentimental, to the comic and satiric Spenser has been called “the poet’s poet,” in that his poetic effects yield to analysis (e.g., the analysis of his versification, below) and hence to imitation more easily than do, say, those of Shakespeare Not only Keats and Tennyson, but also Milton, Shelley, Wordsworth, and Yeats went through apprenticeships to Spenser in various respects Melville imitated him not only in his poetry but also in his prose, as did Hawthorne in his prose With respect to content, Milton praised Spenser’s “forests and enchantments drear / Where more is meant than meets the ear” (“Il Penseroso,” 120) and rated him “a greater teacher than Scotus or Aquinas” (Areopagitica) Versification Another of Spenser’s appeals is his versification, an achievement for which he sometimes sacrificed meaning, clarity, or conciseness Spenser invented a distinctive and demanding but (for all its countless repetitions) satisfying stanza for The Faerie Queene: nine lines, mostly in pentameter, with a rhyme scheme of ababbcbcc It was based on existing stanzas, such as the eight-line stanza of Ariosto and Tasso The b ending recurs four times and stitches the entire stanza together Still, when line is supplied with the b ending (the third occurrence of b), the effect is destabilizing: now this b-rhyme is no longer appearing in an even-numbered line, as previously, but in an odd one (as the emerging quatrain of lines through displays the rhyme pattern of bcbc) Line 8, while picking up the rhyme of line (c) and thus completing the second quatrain, now enters into an interlocking couplet with the final line (also c) This concluding couplet ix 226 The Faerie Queene: Book Six and the Mutabilitie Cantos the goodliest man in al that company, and was well liked of the Lady And eftesoones1 taking on him knighthood, and mounting on that straunge Courser, he went forth with her on that adventure: where beginneth the first booke, vz A gentle knight was pricking on the playne &c The second day ther came in a Palmer bearing an Infant with bloody hands, whose Parents he complained to have bene slayn by an Enchaunteresse called Acrasia: and therfore craved of the Faery Queene, to appoint him some knight, to performe that adventure, which being assigned to Sir Guyon, he presently went forth with that same Palmer: which is the beginning of the second booke and the whole subject thereof.2 The third day there came in, a Groome who complained before the Faery Queene, that a vile Enchaunter called Busirane had in hand a most faire Lady called Amoretta, whom he kept in most grievous torment, because she would not yield him the pleasure of her body.Whereupon Sir Scudamour the lover of that Lady presently tooke on him that adventure But being unable to performe it by reason of the hard Enchauntments, after long sorrow, in the end met with Britomartis, who succoured him, and reskewed his love But by occasion hereof, many other adventures are intermedled, but rather as Accidents, then intendments.3 As the love of Britomart, the overthrow of Marinell, the misery of Florimell, the vertuousnes of Belphoebe, the lasciviousnes of Hellenora, and many the like.4 Thus much Sir, I have briefly overronne to direct your understanding to the welhead of the History, that from thence gathering the whole intention of the conceit, ye may as in a handfull gripe al the discourse, which otherwise may happily5 seeme tedious and confused So humbly craving the continuaunce of your honorable favour towards me, and th’eternall establishment of your happines, I humbly take leave 23 January 1589.6 Yours most humbly affectionate Ed Spenser eftesoones: immediately This description is at variance with the beginning of Book Two at several points— e.g., the Palmer is already with Guyon when they encounter the bloody baby in Canto One intendments: matters of central import This description seems to make Scudamour the hero, rather than Britomart happily: by chance In the new calendar, 1590 THE LIFE OF EDMUND SPENSER Spenser (c 1552–1599) was from a merchant family, possibly involved in the cloth trade and probably living in London Although he may have been related to the noble family of Spencers, Spenser was not a gentleman He was fortunate to attend the Merchant Taylors’ School, an academy founded by the tailors’ guild, and was registered there as a “poor scholar.” The school, however, was excellent; in his eight years there, Spenser received a humanist education that was rich in classical scholarship and languages In 1569 he entered Pembroke Hall, Cambridge Again he was a scholarship student, called a sizar, earning room and board by performing servants’ duties In the same year that he arrived at Cambridge, Spenser was first published: several of his translations from Italian and French appeared in the Protestant miscellany A Theatre for Worldlings Spenser completed a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1573, and then, in 1576, a Master of Arts (finishing 66th out of a class of 70) Spenser then began a career as secretary to high-ranking men, a position of some importance involving a broad array of duties that included much traveling and writing Intermittent records show him serving as an emissary for the earl of Leicester, and in 1578 he was secretary to John Young, Bishop of Rochester In 1579 he married Maccabaeus Chylde; we know little about the couple’s family life other than the fact that they had two children In 1580 he was appointed secretary to Lord Grey de Wilton, the new Lord Deputy of Ireland, and traveled there with him Spenser’s career as a secretary and subsequent work as a civil servant in Ireland no doubt took up much of his time But he was simultaneously establishing a second career as a poet Probably while working for Leicester, Spenser met Philip Sidney and entered into his sophisticated literary circle In 1579 Spenser published The Shepheardes Calender, his innovative and enormously influential collection of pastorals It revealed Spenser not only as one of England’s most skilled poets, but as a deeply interested and progressive Protestant thinker He also cultivated his university friendship with the humanist scholar Gabriel Harvey, which in 1580 led to the publication of several of their letters The Harvey letters mention several lost works, and suggest that by 1580 Spenser had begun working on The Faerie Queene Meanwhile, in Ireland with Lord Grey, Spenser participated in the complicated and exceedingly violent project of English colonialism Grey was sent to govern a country that was struggling broadly against English domination, and he adopted a strategy of overwhelming force, including the notorious slaughter of 600 military prisoners at Smerwick, and policies aimed at subduing the population through famine To what 227 228 The Faerie Queene: Book Six and the Mutabilitie Cantos extent Spenser participated in Grey’s governance, and to what extent he merely accompanied him and performed secretarial duties, is unclear But it is clear that Spenser profited personally from empire building Although Grey was recalled to England in 1582, Spenser made Ireland his permanent home, first in the New Abbey estate, and in 1589 in the three thousand acres of the Kilcolman estate Throughout the 1580s, Spenser received a number of governmental appointments and established himself in Ireland as a well-off planter and gentleman His complex relationship to Ireland is largely understood through A View of the Present State of Ireland, a prose dialogue that forthrightly defends Grey’s violent tactics and advocates deeply repressive measures against the Irish It has called forth both defenses of the poet and declarations of his complicity in the outrages of colonialism The subtleties of A View cast a similarly complicated light on The Faerie Queene, which was written in Ireland, and reflects its beautiful and pitifully war-torn landscape In Ireland Spenser became friends with the explorer, author, and courtier Sir Walter Raleigh, who in 1589 traveled with him to England Probably with the sponsorship of Raleigh, Spenser presented the first three books of The Faerie Queene to Elizabeth, who, by Spenser’s report, was well pleased Spenser secured the printer William Ponsonby in London, and Books One through Three of The Faerie Queene were published in 1590 The poem was a clear effort to win court favor, with a dedication to Elizabeth and as many as seventeen dedicatory sonnets to the major figures in court As a reward, Spenser was granted a pension of £50 a year for life Such a position in the patronage system of the day was not unusual, as poetry was commonly used as a means of preferment in court— for noblemen such as Sidney and Raleigh, it was one more personal accomplishment; for those like Spenser who were not noble, it was a way to win social and economic advantages Spenser, however, maintained skepticism toward court life In his pastoral “Colin Clouts Come Home Againe,” which tells of his and Raleigh’s journey to court, Colin declares that it is no sort of life, For shepheard fit to lead in that same place, Where each one seeks with malice and with strife, To thrust downe other into foule disgrace, Himselfe to raise (688–92) Spenser returned to Ireland, where he lived, worked, and wrote throughout the 1590s He published several important poems under the title of Complaints in 1591 In 1594 he married Elizabeth Boyle, resulting The Life of Edmund Spenser 229 in at least one child, and in the following year he published Amoretti and Epithalamion, which celebrate their love and marriage Throughout these years he continued work on The Faerie Queene, and in 1596 published the second edition This extended the poem to six books; its final form was reached in the posthumous 1609 edition, with the inclusion of the fragment of a seventh book, the Mutabilitie Cantos In 1596 he also published Fowre Hymnes and Prothalamion Spenser may have traveled to London to oversee the second printing of The Faerie Queene If so, he returned to an Ireland wracked by rebellion In 1598 the Tyrone Rebellion reached Munster, and Spenser and his family fled Kilcolman just before the estate was sacked and burned Spenser carried letters from the President of Munster to the Privy Council in England, describing the military crisis On January 13, 1599, while still in England, Spenser died His life ended under the shadow cast by the destruction of his home and the scattering of his interests in Ireland, which Ben Jonson described, possibly hyperbolically, as dying “for lack of bread.” Spenser’s hearse was reportedly attended by poets, who threw their verses and pens into his tomb as he was buried in Poets’ Corner at Westminster Abbey TEXTUAL NOTES Book Six is based upon the 1596 edition of The

work in five volumes Each includes its own Introduction, annotation, notes on the text, bibliography, glossary, and index of characters; Spenser’s “Letter to Raleigh” and a short Life of Edmund Spenser appear in every volume The Faerie Queene Book Six and the incomplete Book Seven of The Faerie Queene are the last sections of the unfinished poem to have been published They show Spenser inflecting his narrative with an ever more personal note, and becoming an ever more desperate and anxious author, worried that things were falling apart as Queen Elizabeth failed in health and the Irish crisis became ever more terrifying The moral confusion and uncertainty that Calidore, the Knight of Courtesy, has to confront are symptomatic of the lack of control that Spenser saw everywhere around him Yet, within such a troubling and disturbing work there are moments of great beauty and harmony, such as the famous dance of the Graces that Colin Clout, the rustic alter ego of the poet himself, conjures up with his pipe Book Seven, the “Two Cantos of Mutabilitie,” is among the finest of Spenser’s poetic works, in which he explains the mythical origins of his world, as the gods debate on the hill opposite his Irish house Whether order or chaos triumphs in the end has been the subject of most subsequent critical debate SPENSER The Faerie Queene, Book Six and the Mutabilitie
