Richmond sets the stage in the first chapter by providing the social, political, cultural, and religious context of the era in which Spenser penned The Faerie Queene. Because traditional medieval romance contains a strongly Catholic ethos, Spenser's task in the post-Reformation sixteenth century was to transform classic Catholic medieval romance into a uniquely Protestant invention using "moral and religious allegory" (6). ...Richmond sardonically explains that in the case of Andrew Lang's The Red Romance Book of 1905, written primarily by his wife Leonora, Henry J. Ford's illustrations were "more memorable than her words" (128).
