The Faerie Queene - Politics and the poem
The poem found political favour with Elizabeth I and was consequently very successful, to the extent of far overshadowing Spenser's other poetry. A measure of the favour which the poem found with the monarch is that Spenser was granted a pension for life on account of it (50 pounds a year).
The poem celebrates the Tudor dynasty (of which Elizabeth was a part), and links the dynasty with the Arthurian tradition. The poem is deeply allegorical and allusive: many prominent Elizabethans may readily be discerned skulking amongst the dramatis personae. Its incidents involving knightly combats against giants and sorcerers resemble the epic poetry by Ludovico Ariosto, Torquato Tasso, and their followers on themes drawn from the metrical romances from the Matter of France, but the plot of The Faerie Queene is Spenser's own.
