The Bower of Bliss - Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene

We continue to interrupt our regular service with discussion of Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene. This episode we discuss the longest canto in The Faerie Queene, and embark on a journey through the Bower of Bliss. We discuss the delicate relationship between art and pleasure, Spenser's interest in different types of temperance, a plethora of poetic devices, and whether Guyon has actually learnt anything.
