Concentrating on major figures of women in 'The Faerie Queene', together with the figures constellated around them, Anderson's 'Narrative Figuration' explores the contribution of Spenser's epic romance to an appreciation of women's plights and possibilities in the age of Elizabeth. Taken together, their stories have a meaningful tale to tell about the function of narrative, which proves central to figuration in the still moving, metamorphic poem that Spenser created.
