The Faerie Queene, Bk 2 - Edmund Spenser: Canto 8


Listen Later

We continue to interrupt our regular service with discussion of Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene.

Dr Peter Groves has kindly joined us to examine 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.

In our discussion of canto eight Peter explains the comparison between books 1 and 2 of the poem, we examine the plight of the poor Palmer, and consider Guyon's journey as (yet another) analogue for the Fall.

As usual you kind find us on:
