Critics’ concerns about Book Six—its discontinuity, the inappropriate behaviors by characters, and the uncertain relationship between narrator and reader—help to define the book’s dominant quality and the reader’s experience. This quality of uncertainty emerges particularly when comparing Books Six and Five. Using this quality as an insight into the structure of the Legend of Courtesy, the reader can more clearly understand Spenser’s concept of the virtue and our reactions to the material. Spenser’s virtue of courtesy is more than a code of conduct occurring within the civilized world; it is an awareness of human value reached by poetic insight.
