Reading The Faerie Queene | Alexandria
Read The Faerie Queene by Edmund Spenser. Blending medieval magic with radical feminism, Spenser's icon shatters expectations - female knights lead his moral revolution. While glorifying chastity, he daringly suggests that gender roles limit human potential. His 16th century challenge still resonates: must virtue be tied to biological sex? The Faerie Queene asks uncomfortable questions about who we let ourselves become.
