This paper examines the significance and effects of Ovidian discourse in the episode of Castle Joyeous in Book III of The Faerie Queene. Spenser’s Ovidian discourse has been overlooked despite its great influence on Spenser. In the Renaissance, when Spenser was writing, the multiplicity and variety of Ovid’s Metamorphoses were recognized as a source of poetic pleasure, and contemporary writers simultaneously borrowed and transformed Ovidian discourse, rewriting it in moral terms. Drawing on this literary background, this paper argues that Ovidian discourse, incorporated into the portrayal of Britomart’s sexual awakening, functions as a “bold” literary device to both represent Britomart’s transgressive sexual desire and inspire a desire to pursue her allegorical meanings. Britomart is able to accomplish her virtue of Chastity by embracing her internal desires, a circumstance which demands a revisionary understanding of “wandering” desire inherent in Ovid’s Metamorphoses.
