- Description
- Spenser drew upon Chaucerian and Milton upon Spenserian narrative for mythopoeic embodiments of moral ideas, which they in turn adapted and transformed. From PF, KnT, Marriage Group, and SqT Spenser assimilated ideas of continuity, harmony and free choice in love. Transformations of both ideas and form are recognizable in the "Faerie Queene".
