Spenser's Allegory of Justice in Book Five of the Fairie Queen

The importance of Dunseath's study is that it proposes an original interpretation of the allegory of The Faerie Queene, Book V, and a fresh theory of its poetic function.... It brings new material into play, and offers a sensible, integrated reading of many of the poem's most important passages, so that it may well prove a pace-setter for this kind of Spenserian study.--Alastair Fowler, Brasenose College, Oxford.
