Reading and Not Reading the Faerie Queene
What I’ve been reading
(2021-10-25)
1. Catherine Nicholson, Reading and Not Reading the Faerie Queene . A splendid book, take the title literally, and I very much liked these two sentences: “Others, however, pick it [Faerie Queene] up on impulse and find themselves helplessly enthralled, spurred by a devotion at once unsustainable and impossible to shake. As C.S. Lewis put it, “I never meet a man who says that he used to like the Faerie Queene .” Could it be the most underrated book of the Western canon?
