Description
Argues that Edmund Spenser's adaptations of SqT and "Amis and Amiloun" in Book IV of "The Faerie Queene" "[embody] his theory of friendship," both in the relations and interactions among the characters and in the ways that he asserts his own place in English literary tradition while paying competitive homage to his predecessors, thereby "showing how friendly reading should be conducted."
