This paper aims to closely examine fairies in Spenser’s Faerie Queene, focusing on their history in canto 10, Book 2. The traditional fairies of folklore in Spenser’s time were mostly considered to be fallen angels, natural spirits or some supernatural beings between angels and human beings. They were believed to be real and visible, smaller than ordinary people in size and usually harmful to people through witchcraft or mischievous acts. Spenser modifies this tradition, inventing an exceptional race of fairies in his encomium to Queen Elizabeth. Fairies in the Faerie Queene are of a human race. Spenser’s fairies are the descendents of Elfe, created by Prometheus, and a female fairy from the Garden of Adonis, Fay, whose name and origin are strongly associated with powers superior to those of ordinary humans, suggesting the excellence of the fairy human race Their illustrious lineage is renowned for its political, martial and cultural achievements. Among the chief champion knights, Guyon and Calidore are fairies, and most other figures in this poem are supposedly fairies unless their nationalities are specified as a Briton or a Sanxon. While Spenser endows good fairies with heroic attributes and extraordinary powers, he ascribes many of the harmful qualities of fairies in fairy lore to the wicked figures in the Faerie Queene. However, Spenser’s fairies are not quite identical with angels, devils, or mischievous spirits but become an allegory of human beings in whom good as well as evil coexist.
Abstract
This paper aims to closely examine fairies in Spenser’s Faerie Queene, focusing on their history in canto 10, Book 2. The traditional fairies of folklore in Spenser’s time were mostly considered to be fallen angels, natural spirits or some supernatural beings between angels and human beings. They were believed to be real and visible, smaller than ordinary people in size and usually harmful to people through witchcraft or mischievous acts. Spenser modifies this tradition, inventing an exceptional race of fairies in his encomium to Queen Elizabeth. Fairies in the Faerie Queene are of a human race. Spenser’s fairies are the descendents of Elfe, created by Prometheus, and a female fairy from the Garden of Adonis, Fay, whose name and origin are strongly associated with powers superior to those of ordinary humans, suggesting the excellence of the fairy human race Their illustrious lineage is renowned for its political, martial and cultural achievements. Among the chief champion knights, Guyon and Calidore are fairies, and most other figures in this poem are supposedly fairies unless their nationalities are specified as a Briton or a Sanxon. While Spenser endows good fairies with heroic attributes and extraordinary powers, he ascribes many of the harmful qualities of fairies in fairy lore to the wicked figures in the Faerie Queene. However, Spenser’s fairies are not quite identical with angels, devils, or mischievous spirits but become an allegory of human beings in whom good as well as evil coexist.
