{"product_id":"spensers-faerie-queene","title":"Spenser's Faerie Queene","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis set publishes two of the most influential critical works of the eighteenth century together for the first time. Richard Hurd's \u003cem\u003eLetters on Chivalry and Romance\u003c\/em\u003e and the second (enlarged) edition of Thomas Warton's \u003cem\u003eObservations on the Fairy Queen\u003c\/em\u003e appeared within a few months of each other in 1762. These two books, which together represented a new 'historical' criticism, established Spenser's \u003cem\u003eFaerie Queene\u003c\/em\u003e as a 'romantic' poem in the tradition of medieval romance and fictions of chivalry.\u003cbr\u003eWith the recent surge of interest in the eighteenth century origins of the literary canon, Hurd and Warton have attracted new critical attention as major figures of the Spenser revival of the time. Fairer's introduction draws on newly discovered material to place the works in their contemporary context. This set will prove an attractive and useful volume for Spenserians and eighteenth century scholars alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45541850415342,"sku":"9780415219570","price":1848.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/spensers-faerie-queene","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
