Gordon Teskey restores Edmund Spenser to prominence, revealing his epic The Faerie Queene as a grand, improvisatory project on human nature. Teskey compares Spenser to Milton, an avowed follower. While Milton's rigid ideology is now stale, Spenser's allegories remain vital, inviting new questions and visions, heralding a constantly changing future.
