This book uses concepts from A.-J. Greimas to analyze Spenser's Shepheardes Calendar as a discourse and as a definitive text for the Elizabethan unconscious. It reveals, along with an explanation of the libidinal and political functioning of the Calender, an ideologeme widely observable in the 1580s and 1590s, that of the captive/capturing woman.
