Notes on the fairy Queen

Based on the st george myth. St George became a popular figure in Islam and Christianity during the crusades

The dragon represents the slaying of paganism

Paganism is the guise taken on by spenser, thru which he establishes St. george as its own slayer

Herein is the feminist motif

This logical structure is followed by patriarchs when writing about goddesses and female mythological figures

Una, the fairy queen’s slayer in this is una herself, slain in obedience to St george

Who will the slayer of humanitarianism, women’s rights, and lesbianism be, herself become the sappho myth?
