Edmund Spenser was first called the "Poet's Poet" by
the English essayist Charles Lamb. Although the phrase does not appear in
any of Lamb's writings, Leigh Hunt attributes it to him in his critique
of Spenser in Hunt's book Imagination and Fancy (published in 1844), his
book The Allegory of Love, C.
S. Lewis explained the reasoning behind Lamb's title for Spenser by
noting that he is "so called in virtue of the historical fact that
most of the poets have liked him very much."Some of the great poets
who admired him include John Milton (who wrote Paradise
Lost), John Dryden, John Keats (perhaps most famous for "Ode
on a Grecian Urn") and William Wordsworth (famous for his romantic
poetry such as "The World is Too Much with Us").Much of their
praise is for his unfinished masterpiece entitled The
Faerie Queene. the incorrect statement about faerie queen is

he stands for the virtue of Holiness

Elizabeth, among others, as discussed in the Commentary.
C)Una represents Truth, which Redcrosse must
find in order to be a true Christian.

falsehood

In
his masterpiece, Of the Lawes of Ecclesiasticall Politie, Richard Hooker
affirmed the Anglican tradition as that of a “threefold cord not quickly
broken.” He specifically referred to the following EXCEPT __________ .
1
tradition
2
scripture
3
community
4
reason
Ans:3 community
Hooker set out to refute the puritan contention that scripture alone was the rule governing all the things that might be done by humankind (I, p. 334: refences to volume and page of Keble’s edition). In doing this, Hooker clarifies the question of authority in matters of doctrine and practice. He shows the proper place of scripture, reason and tradition, that famous 'threefold cord not quickly broken' which was to become the hall mark of classical Anglicanism.the correct statement is—
1 Scripture and nature are neither mutually exclusive nor fundamentally opposed. 'The scripture is fraught even with the laws of nature
2 He meant not his own individual reasoning capacity, but ‘true, sound, divine reason . . . reason proper to that science whereby the things of God are known; theological reason, which out of principles in scripture that are plain, soundly deduceth more doubtful inferences' and brings to light the true meaning of the 'darker places' of scripture
3 Tradition. The term tradition is rather inadequate to designate this third component of Hooker's synthesis. Practice, experience and consent are all involved. They constitute the third and final test or touchstone of religious truth, after divine revelation and human reason. 'Where neither the evidence of any law divine, nor the strength of any invincible argument otherwise found out by the light of reason, nor any notable public inconvenience' are decisive,
'the very authority of the church itself. . . may give so much credit to her own laws, as to make their sentence touching fitness and conveniency weightier than any bare and naked conceit to the contrary'
