内容説明

"The Faerie Queene" anticipates postmodernist concerns with destabilizing language, and this study of Books III and IV of the poem proceeds from the assumption that Spenser has something important to say to us in the late-20th century. In these books, Spenser exposes fictions of total control for what they are - fictions. The text affirms the value of risk and improvization over temptation to seek guarantees. The books examine the role of desire in moving us to function in an uncertain world and tempting us to foreclose that uncertainty by strategies that seek to frame knowledge through total mastery of it.
