Overview

Longman Annotated English Poets Series editors: J Barnard, P Hammond Spenser The Faerie Queene Edited by A C Hamilton Text edited by Hiroshi Yamashita and Toshiyuki Suzuki Character listing compiled by Shohachi Fukuda The Faerie Queene is one of the great seminal masterpieces of English literature, and has influenced, inspired and challenged generations of writers, readers and scholars since its completion in 1596. However, its epic length, its prodigality of incident and detail, the complexity of its allegory and richness of its topical allusions make it one of the hardest texts to to grips with understand. Few works demand or repay introduction and annotation as much - Professor Hamilton's widely acclaimed annotated work, first published in 1977, was the first complete critical edition available for the scholar, student or general reader. It is now a standard textbook for all students of Spenser. Hamilton's second edition is another scholarly masterpiece. The entire work is revised, and the text of The Faerie Queene itself has been freshly edited, the first such edition since the 1930s. The new text, itself a milestone in academic achievement, has been produced by Hiroshi Yamashi
