Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Canterbury Tales: Selections "The Faery Queen," by Edmund Spenser, who was born in London in 1552, is one of the most splendid long poems in the English language. It is also a wonderfully interesting story-book, containing all sorts of adventures. But not many children are likely to read this long poem in its original form. I have therefore taken the first story and told it in prose, that young readers may have the tale in such shape as may please them. It would have gratified me to tell the whole set of tales in this way, but this course would have made a larger book than you would care for, perhaps. The author of this poem intended that it should be understood as an allegory, that is, a story with a double meaning. His knights and ladies, and their adventures, are meant to be images of human life. But as young people are usually interested more in a story than in its meaning, we have not given an explanation of the allegory, believing that the story in itself is sufficiently pleasing, and that readers can find out something of the meaning without help.
