In 1590, an epic poem full of heroes, heroines, and fearsome beasts was introduced to the world. Its influence on fantasy books, movies, and TV shows cannot be overstated.

She is shown standing while the knight is seen on horseback decked out in full armor. Off in the distance, we can see the castle under siege by the dragon who is depicted flying above it. The words THE FAERIE QUEENE are inscribed along the edges.

History

Edmund Spenser, the author of the Faerie Queene, was born in 1552 in London. Spenser was later educated at Cambridge, where he studied many of the classic Greek and Italian myths that would influence his work. In 1590 he published the first half of his most well-known piece, the epic poem The Faerie Queene. The second half was released six years later. A moral allegory, each of the six books focused on a different knight who become exemplars of specific virtues such as temperance and justice.
