| Sommario/riassunto: | This full-length study is devoted to Una, the beleaguered but ultimately triumphant heroine of book one of 'The Faerie Queene'. Challenging the standard identification of Spenser's Una with the post-Reformation Church in England, it argues that she stands, rather, for the community of the redeemed, the invisible Church, whose membership is known by God alone. |
