Title: Temperate conquests
Description: "Temperate Conquests examines Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene within the context of England's international relations and colonial expansion during the Elizabethan period. It is significant reconsideration of Book 2, which is often regarded as one of the least topical and thus least engaging books of The Faerie Queene.".

"This book responds to the recent wave of work emphasizing Spenser's tenure in Ireland as defining his interest with English colonialism. Temperate Conquests contains much that will interest students and scholars of Edmund Spenser, Renaissance studies, and European colonialism."--BOOK JACKET.
