A basic reprinted text of a glossary appended to an 1843 edition of Sir Edmund Spenser's Elizabethan classic
The Faerie Queene
, an allegorical epic poem. Because the poem was written at the end of the 16th century with language that was considered archaic even in its own time, this glossary is useful for modern readers of Spenserian English poetry. This edition is printed with generous margins and large font. Those interested in older English more generally such as writers, poets, roleplayers, and cosmopolitan sophisticates are likely to find this a welcome addition to their book collection as a standalone volume.
