The Faerie Queene, Books Three and Four by Edmund Spenser

sohnis's review

5.0

Britomart is probably one of the earliest feminist characters ever written, and she is AMAZING. I think Brienne of Tarth from GoT is definitely derived from Britomart's character. Even more, because this is the book of chastity, it obviously needs to explore the extreme opposites, which makes for a seriously weird, lopsided, fascinating read.
