Summary: "The Faerie Queene — Volume 01" by Edmund Spenser is an epic poem written in the late 16th century during the English Renaissance. The work is a rich allegory exploring themes of virtue and morality through its depiction of knights on quests. The narrative revolves around key characters like the Redcross Knight, who embodies holiness, and his adventures alongside other knights representing various virtues. At the start of "The Faerie Queene," readers are introduced to a complex narrative framework, where the provenance of the tale is established.
