- Description
- Argues that in his "Faerie Queene," Edmund Spenser intended his "avowed kinship with Chaucer, and especially with Chaucer's romances, as a paradigm of his relation to the recorded sources of memory." Fused in Spenser's "extension" of SqT, KnT and SqT "become an image of the extension of experience through time . . . which is characteristic of romance," and Spenser follows Chaucer as the Squire follows the Knight.
