Spenser wants us to "love what's lovely and hate what's loathsome." Exactly!

These people are terrible. The Faerie Queene is a joy to read. The language is beautiful and the stories and allegory are wonderful. I read the first two cantos when I was a kid as a high school assignment but I bought the complete poem in a Modern Library edition. We used to get together with friends and get drunk with red wine and some guy with a really good voice would read it to us while we made eyes at the blonde girls and tried to make them prance about as if in a forest. I remember the profound silence after the Mutabilitee Cantos and one girl wept. Literature is to be loved and experienced and these clowns should stick to the low brow American cannon that they can "relate" to and are part of their "life experience." They are dim lights in a dark world that should be illuminated by great literature. The lady is the essence of cynicism and her voice depresses me.

Agree for the most part. They all are jarring to the ear but she is especially. It sounds like an 80s John Hughes movie or women's talk show.

Spenser would find these spiritual sentiments ("love what's lovely...", etc.) intellectually weak. His poem specifically makes the point that it is extremely difficult to tell what is lovely and what is loathsome. The first book does more than encode doctrine in pleasing fiction; it explores the notion of holiness and attempts to construct an understanding of it that does not necessarily map onto any specific Protestant (or Catholic) doctrine.

I am despairingly struggling with the first few words but I resenting giving up because I must understand what this great man is talking about .at a time when Brexit is winning and british people are feeling that nostalgiscally they are riding the waves I must understand the relative origins of those passions. Is Boris Johnson the Red Cross Knight?His great grand father was Turkish.Does that not tell us about the heterogeneity of Humankind. Jesus was clear about the Brotherhood of Manandwomankind.

No introduction of panel and their qualifications. Coffee clatch style discussion of The Fairie Queene is somewhat jarring. The horrid American valley girl accent and dudebro informal style doesn't help.
