description: /* LC275, 0-582-09951-X, Hamilton, A.C., The Faerie Queene, Second Edition */ The first edition book of this book has become essential to the study of one of the seminal masterpieces of English literature. The Faerie Queen has influenced, inspired and challenged generations of writers, readers and scholars since its completion in 1596. And, due to its epic length, it is also one of the hardest to comprehend. In this fully revised second edition, the poem has been freshly annotated throughout, as has the additional material which includes a chronology, a letter to Raleigh, commendatory verses, and dedicatory sonnets. A list of characters and their appearances has been compiled by Shohachi Fakuda and the text has been newly edited by Hiroshi Yamashita and Toshiyuki Suzuki. Those wishing to read and/or better understand the Faerie Queene.
