The Faerie Queene, Vol. 1 of 2 (Classic Reprint) Book

PREFACE THE introduction to this volume is not intended for young students, but for older students and teachers; the latter will, I hope, find material whi(~h may be of service to them in the task of understanding and explaining Spenser. The historical interpretation of the allegory in Book I is, I believe, the most important contribution I have been able to make to Spenserian scholarship and will, I trnst, prove of general interest. I have spared no pains to make it accurate. L. W. ABEBYSTWYTH. OcWber 1914.
