The poem also displays Spenser's through familiarity with literary history. The word faerie Queene is based on English Arthurian legend, but much of the language, spirit, and style of the piece draw more on italian epic.
4)Archetypes:-
Some literary works sacrifice historical context to archetypal myth, reducing poetry to biblical quests. Throughout the Faerie Queene, Spenser does not concentrate on a pattern to focus the meaning of the past on the presents. Within the this poem Spenser blurs the distinction between archetypal and historical elements delibarately.For example, Spenser does not believe in the complete truth of the british chronical,which Arthur reads in the house of alma.
