Story4.5 out of 5 stars 78
This remarkable poem, dedicated to Queen Elizabeth I, was Spenser's finest achievement. The first epic poem in modern English, The Faerie Queene combines dramatic narratives of chivalrous adventure with exquisite and picturesque episodes of pageantry. At the same time, Spenser is expounding a deeply-felt allegory of the eternal struggle between Truth and Error....

High Adventure
Reviewed: 10-09-23
My goodness. I am blown away by the artistry and genius of The Faerie Queene. Spenser weaves together a rich tapestry of adventure, horror, and romance while highlighting virtue and morality. The allegory whether to be agreed with or not is pure artistry. Spenser is a master and offers a finely crafted poetic narrative. This 30+ hour epic poem is well worth the time.

Berry delivers yet again
Reviewed: 04-30-23
Wendell Berry has a way of drawing the reader into a simpler time and making you feel like you and a resident of Port William. The characters are so full of depth. His novels are an excellent reading experience. The narrator does a wonderful job with the story. 5/5
