Dear all,

Please take a look at the letter sent by Spenser to Raleigh and discuss:

1. Why did Spenser choose to write about King Arthur in his Faery Queene?
2. Why is it called an allegory?
3. What are the characteristics that he is trying to emphasise through his different characters?
4. Why do you think he writes the letter to explain his intentions?

See you soon,
Claudia
