Companion Glossary to the Faerie Queene

Second (much revised and expanded) edition of a glossary for Sir Edmund Spenser’s Elizabethan classic The Faerie Queene, an allegorical epic poem. Because the poem was written at the end of the 16th century with language that was considered archaic even in its own time, this glossary is useful for modern readers of Spenserian English poetry. This edition is printed with generous margins and large font. Those interested in older English more generally such as writers, poets, roleplayers, and cosmopolitan sophisticates are likely to find this a welcome addition to their book collection as a standalone volume.The second edition is synthesized from a combination of centuries old Faerie Queene glossaries and vetted against the original text (with additions). Also contains an appendix glossary of terms used for definitions but absent from the Faerie Queene itself.
