About Spenser’s Famous Flight: A Renaissance Idea of a Literary Career (Heritage)

In Spenser’s famous Flight, Patrick Cheney challenges the received wisdom about the shape and goal of Spenser’s literary career. He contends that Spenser’s idea of a literary career is not strictly the convential Virgilian pattern of pastoral to epic, but a Christian revision of that pattern in light of Petrarch and the Reformation. Cheney demonstrates that, far from changing his mind about his career as a result of disillusionment, Spenser embarks upon and completes a daring progress that secures his status as an Orphic poet. In October, Spenser calls his idea of a literary career the ‘famous flight.’ Both classical and Christian culture has authorized the myth of the winged poet as a primary myth of fame and glory. Cheney shows that throughout his poetry Spenser relies on an image of flight to accomplish his highest goal.
