Description:

Seeing Books I-III of Edmund Spenser's long poem The Faerie Queene as a thematic unit, Fike (Winthrop U.) examines the journeys of Redcrosse, Guyon, and Britomart, arguing that they are parallel journeys, allegorically relevant to the underworld. He discusses analogies of the journeys to traditions of Christ's descent into hell, the Theseus myth, and the realm of prostitution.
