- Description
- Books 3-4 of "The Faerie Queene" are a meditation on the nature of sexual passion, deeply influenced by FranT (which Spenser paraphrases in part) and its emphasis on companionship as a brake on sexual passion. Spenser develops the meditation in his continuation of SqT, incorporating features of KnT to acknowledge his son/father relation with Chaucer.
