{"product_id":"the-faerie-queene-and-middle-english-romance-9780198187226","title":"The Faerie Queene and Middle English Romance","description":"Scholarship on Middle English romance has done little to access the textual and bibliographical continuity of this remarkable literary tradition into the sixteenth century and its impact on Elizabethan works. And to an even greater extent Spenserian scholarship has failed to investigate the\u003cbr\u003esignificant and complex debts which \u003cem\u003eThe Faerie Queene\u003c\/em\u003e owes to medieval native verse romance and Malory's \u003cem\u003eLe Morte D'Arthur\u003c\/em\u003e. This book accordingly offers the first comprehensive study of the impact of Middle English romance on \u003cem\u003eThe Faerie Queene\u003c\/em\u003e. It employs the concept of memory, in which both Middle\u003cbr\u003eEnglish romance writers and Spenser show specific interest, to build a sense of the thematic, generic, and cultural complexity of the native romance tradition. The memorial character of Middle English romance resides in its intertextuality and its frequent presentation of its narrative events as\u003cbr\u003ehistorical and consequently the basis for a favourable sense of local or even national identity. Spensers memories of native romance involve a more troubled engagement with that tradition of providential national history as well as an endeavour to see in pre-Reformation romance a prophetic and\u003cbr\u003eobjective authority for Protestant belief.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew King\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Clarendon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/09\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.75d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198187226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2001 pg. 1629\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAndrew King is Killam Postdoctoral Fellow in English, Dalhousie University, Canada\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clarendon Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":39930792345715,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_d62f98ca-7671-4e32-b2c6-066001c3c3aa.jpg?v=1647699851","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-faerie-queene-and-middle-english-romance-9780198187226","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
