초록
By analyzing Spenser’s Book 2 of The Faerie Queene on the basis of Foucault’s discussion of power, this paper attempts to reconfigure the poet freshly as an inquirer of power, thus shedding new light on his relationship to Queen Elizabeth I. For his glorification of the fairy queen Gloriana in the epic poem, Spenser has conventionally been criticised as an upholder of monarchical power. However, he does not just praise the queenship in the the second Book; more importantly, to use Foucault’s own terms, Spenser explores the nature and limits of sovereign power and suggests another new form of power, which is similar in its operation process to disciplinary power. Moreover, through his detailed description of the final scene in the Book about the destruction of the Bower of Bliss, he shows how effective it is to combine the sovereign power and the new power similar to Foucault’s disciplinary power. After discussing how Spenser unmasks the core elements and mechanism of the two forms of power and suggests an ideal way of exercising power, this paper concludes that as an inquirer of power, Spenser could play in the Book the role of an educator of the queen, instructing her how to control her subjects effectively in time for the crisis of her sovereign power.
Abstract
By analyzing Spenser’s Book 2 of The Faerie Queene on the basis of Foucault’s discussion of power, this paper attempts to reconfigure the poet freshly as an inquirer of power, thus shedding new light on his relationship to Queen Elizabeth I. For his glorification of the fairy queen Gloriana in the epic poem, Spenser has conventionally been criticised as an upholder of monarchical power. However, he does not just praise the queenship in the the second Book; more importantly, to use Foucault’s own terms, Spenser explores the nature and limits of sovereign power and suggests another new form of power, which is similar in its operation process to disciplinary power. Moreover, through his detailed description of the final scene in the Book about the destruction of the Bower of Bliss, he shows how effective it is to combine the sovereign power and the new power similar to Foucault’s disciplinary power. After discussing how Spenser unmasks the core elements and mechanism of the two forms of power and suggests an ideal way of exercising power, this paper concludes that as an inquirer of power, Spenser could play in the Book the role of an educator of the queen, instructing her how to control her subjects effectively in time for the crisis of her sovereign power.
