Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Modern Philology, Vol. 12: 1914-1915 A previous paper has discussed Spenser´s relation to the Puritan propaganda. It is the aim of the present paper to determine the extent to which he was in sympathy with the theology of Calvin. It will remain for a third and final paper to discuss his sympathy with the inner and essential spirit of Puritanism. Spenser´s theological ideas underlie so much of his poetry that the exact determination of these ideas is essential to the understanding of his work. These ideas find their most complete expression in the hymns of heavenly love and beauty, in the initial book of the Faerie Queene, and in the Mother Hubberds Tale. The Hymne of Heavenly Love treats of the three persons of the Godhead, of the angels, and of the creation, fall, and redemption of man; the Hymne of Heavenly Beautie, of God´s revelation through the external universe and through the divine Sapience; the first book of the Faerie Queene, of man´s repentance, training, and growth in the spiritual life; and the Mother Hubberds Tale, of the organization and life of the church. There is a general correspondence between these poems and the successive books of Calvin´s Institutes of the Christian Religion.
