The Faerie Queene, Bk 1 - Edmund Spenser - w Dr Peter Groves: part 1

We look forward to intermittently interrupting our regular service with discussion of Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene.  Dr Peter Groves has kindly joined us to discuss the epic poem in all its splendid detail and to continue our mission of making daunting texts accessible. There are also plenty of dark heroes who we will meet along the way. This episode we discuss the first half of book one of The Faerie Queene, Spenser's poetry and context, why God loves puns, errant knights, fauns, giants, creepy hermitages and much more. Rowan and I will continue our usual episodes and will be uploading a mix of both in the coming months. Our episode on The Monk won't be far behind this one.
