We continue to interrupt our regular service with discussion of Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene.
Dr Peter Groves has kindly joined us to examine the epic poem in all its splendid detail and to continue our mission of making daunting texts accessible. There are also plenty of dark heroes who we will meet along the way.
"Pyrochles does with Guyon fight,
And Furors chayne unbinds
Of whom sore hurt, for his reuenge
Attin Cymochles finds"
This episode we continue with book 2 and discuss canto five. We discuss Guyon's first real encounter with intemperance and the thirst trap that is Phaedria. Peter explains that the only way to overcome intemperance is to avoid the occasion that promotes it. Come for the theology, stay for the puns—it's going to be a wild ride.
Rowan and I will continue our usual episodes and will be uploading a mix of both in the coming months.
