| Zusammenfassung: | Much has been written about Spenser's theological allegory and its sources but, until now, no one has suggested sustained patristic influence. Harold Weatherby argues that taking patristic theology as a measure for certain episodes in The Faerie Queene affords more convincing evidence than the familiar (usually Protestant) references. He shows that sixteenth-century editions of the works of the principal Fathers were available to Spenser, and that, in addition, there appeard to be considerable interest in the Fathers at Spenser's college, Pembroke. With the additional evidence of the poem itself, Weatherby introduces the theory that patristic theology affected the poet's understanding of Christianity. To demonstrate, the author examines seven allegorical episodes in The Faerie Queene, each of which has had extensive pervious interpretive attention, quite different from the approach taken here. He looks closely at the dragon fight and the figure of St George; the subsequent nuptial celebration with Una and Red Crosse; the role of Belphoebe as an emblem of temperance (as the Fathers conceive temperance); Guyon's descent into Mammon's cave; Guyon's encounter with Mordant, Amavia, and Ruddymane, and his futile effort to cleanse the child's hands; Arthur's defeat of Maleger; and the presentation of Dame Nature. In each of these episodes, patristic thought is seen to have significantly shaped the allegory. The epilogue suggest how patristic thought influenced Spenser's presentation of eros in Books III and IV, introducting a new hypothesis about these books and about Spenser's conception of chastity |

| spelling | Weatherby, Harold L. Verfasser aut Mirrors of Celestial Grace Patristic Theology in Spenser's Allegory Harold L. Weatherby Toronto University of Toronto Press [2019] © 1994 1 online resource txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Heritage Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher's Web site, viewed 28. Aug 2019) Much has been written about Spenser's theological allegory and its sources but, until now, no one has suggested sustained patristic influence. Harold Weatherby argues that taking patristic theology as a measure for certain episodes in The Faerie Queene affords more convincing evidence than the familiar (usually Protestant) references. He shows that sixteenth-century editions of the works of the principal Fathers were available to Spenser, and that, in addition, there appeard to be considerable interest in the Fathers at Spenser's college, Pembroke. With the additional evidence of the poem itself, Weatherby introduces the theory that patristic theology affected the poet's understanding of Christianity. To demonstrate, the author examines seven allegorical episodes in The Faerie Queene, each of which has had extensive pervious interpretive attention, quite different from the approach taken here. He looks closely at the dragon fight and the figure of St George; the subsequent nuptial celebration with Una and Red Crosse; the role of Belphoebe as an emblem of temperance (as the Fathers conceive temperance); Guyon's descent into Mammon's cave; Guyon's encounter with Mordant, Amavia, and Ruddymane, and his futile effort to cleanse the child's hands; Arthur's defeat of Maleger; and the presentation of Dame Nature. In each of these episodes, patristic thought is seen to have significantly shaped the allegory. The epilogue suggest how patristic thought influenced Spenser's presentation of eros in Books III and IV, introducting a new hypothesis about these books and about Spenser's conception of chastity In English Spenser, Edmund 1552-1599 The faerie queene (DE-588)4125236-6 gnd rswk-swf Spenser, Edmund 1552-1599 (DE-588)118616129 gnd rswk-swf RELIGION / Theology bisacsh Allegory Christian poetry, English Early modern, 1500-1700 History and criticism Christianity and literature England History 16th century Epic poetry, English History and criticism Religion in literature Theology, Doctrinal, in literature Kirchenväter (DE-588)4030763-3 gnd rswk-swf Vätertheologie (DE-588)4298909-7 gnd rswk-swf Allegorie (DE-588)4001236-0 gnd rswk-swf Patristik (DE-588)4075933-7 gnd rswk-swf Spenser, Edmund 1552-1599 The faerie queene (DE-588)4125236-6 u Allegorie (DE-588)4001236-0 s Patristik (DE-588)4075933-7 s 1\p DE-604 Vätertheologie (DE-588)4298909-7 s 2\p DE-604 Spenser, Edmund 1552-1599 (DE-588)118616129 p Kirchenväter (DE-588)4030763-3 s 3\p DE-604 https://doi.org/10.3138/9781487584818 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
