Considering Reading Faerie Queen - Honest Read or Guided Approach?
I was watching an interview with Henry Oliver where he mentioned that he thinks Faerie Queen is perhaps the most underrated and under-read piece in English literature. It sort of piqued my interest; I work a corporate grind and I want to read something challenging and beautiful to contrast the dull, soulless drivel I have to read and write every day.
So this leads me to my question (an explanation of the paradigm). When I read Ulysses I decided to just plow straight through, and If I comprehended some parts and not others, then fine. A friend of mine who was dramatically better educated in this area called this an "honest reading" compared to a guided reading where you approach the work more academically and support your reading by going back through analyses or guides on what you've just read.
Any recommendations on which approach I ought to take for this work?
