Exploring the intersection of colonialism and gender, this analysis delves into Edmund Spenser's Faerie Queene within the framework of English history. It highlights Spenser's views on the Irish, particularly through themes of sexual promiscuity, Catholicism, and miscegenation. The study further examines the textual dynamics shaped by Spenser's relationship with Queen Elizabeth and his experiences in Ireland, offering a nuanced understanding of his poetry's socio-political context.
