I mean, Shakespeare has it in spades. I guess it's a British thing. Not just the Anglos, the Irish write about it too.

The book’s plot really can sound like an anime at times. That same character has a spunky tomboy for a fiancé and a sidekick that’s essentially a robot.

It happens in Sidney’s Arcadia too.

In Shakespeare it's almost always women dressing up as men, rather than the other way around. The only time I remember a man dressing up as a woman in Shakespeare was in a very brief scene in The Taming of the Shrew, and it's done more for the completely farcical effect than anything else, whereas he treats women dressing up as men as possessing far more emotional depth and purity.

The part where Calidore becomes a shepherd for a while is dangerously comfy.

Huh, I've actually read some of Spenser's pastoral poetry, but I've never read the Faerie Queene. Didn't know it got pastoral in some parts.

Yeah, towards the end of book 6. Sir Calidore falls in love with a shepherdess, but she isn’t impressed by his nobility or fancy armor, so he decides to live in her village and work as a shepherd until he can win her love. But then bandits kidnap everyone in the village and he has to become a knight again and rescue them.

did you notice that his sword gets broken, and then he just has it again? i thought it was going to be that talos had to fix it, but i guess spenser just forgot.

>the lamest monster
He's only unleashed upon the world exactly when the poem *stops* (less the Mutabilitie Cantos, which OP
>>24530721 (OP)
considers the weakest of the lot, when in fact they're the strongest-- go figure)
If /you consider the commercial progress of the West from that time to this then you understand that the Beast continues to possess the force of prophecy, among its modern manifestations the wide production of, and access to, pornography, and a social tenor of bluster and rudeness both hidden and explicit, e.g.:
'You idiot motherfuckers have no idea in hell what you're mouthing on about,' etc.
