Description
Despite all of his acknowledged greatness, almost no one read Edmund Spenser (1552-99) any more. Roy Maynard takes the first book of 'The Faerie Queene, ' exploring the concept of Holiness with the character of the Redcross Knight, and makes Spenser accessible again. He does this not by dumbing it down, but by deftly modernizing the spelling, explaining the obscurities in clever asides, and cuing the reader towards the right response. (from Gene Veith)
