Why did Edmund Spenser write his epic, The Faerie Queene, in stanzas instead of a classical meter or blank verse? Is there, as centuries of readers have remarked, something lyrical about Spenser's epic style, and if so, why? David Scott Wilson-Okamura addresses these questions in a broader, European context.
