God's Only Daughter

Meer over het boek

Focusing on Una's character in The Faerie Queene, this study presents her as a symbol of the invisible Church, rather than the post-Reformation Church. Kathryn Walls explores her journey as an allegory of redemption, intertwining the narratives of the Synagogue and the Church across time. Una's initial flaws lead to her transformation, particularly highlighted by the appearance of the lion representing Christ. This analysis provides a fresh perspective on her role and significance within Spenser's work.
