Summary:

"The importance of Dunseath's study is that it proposes an original interpretation of the allegory of The Faerie Queene, Book V, and a fresh theory of its poetic function.... It brings new material into play, and offers a sensible, integrated reading of many of the poem's most important passages, so that it may well prove a pace-setter for this kind of Spenserian study."-Alastair Fowler, Brasenose College, Oxford.
