The Palace of Pleasure
''The Palace of Pleasure'' is a poem by James Henry Leigh Hunt published in his 1801 collection ''Juvenilia''. Written before he was even sixteen, the work was part of a long tradition of poets imitating Spenser. ''The Palace of Pleasure'' is an allegory based on Book II of Edmund Spenser's ''The Faerie Queene'' and describes the adventure of Sir Guyon as he is taken by airy sylphs to the palace of the "Fairy Pleasure". According to Hunt the poem "endeavours to correct the vices of the age, by showing the frightful landscape that terminates the alluring path of sinful Pleasure".〔
==Background==
After Hunt entered into a series of competitions run by the ''Monthly Preceptor'' calling for the submission at the age of 15, his father Isaac Hunt collected his son's childhood poetry to publish them. Among these was ''The Palace of Pleasure'', which was printed by James Whiting in 1801 in Hunt's ''Juvenilia'' after his family managed to collect over 800 subscriptions for the volume. ''The Palace of Pleasure'' was the final work in the volume, which was reprinted four times before 1805.〔Roe 2005 pp. 50–56〕 Attached to the beginning of the poem is a preface that shows Hunt discussing life in artistic and heroic terms, and he refers to himself when he describes "a Muse, who is entering into public in her sixteenth year, bashful on her first exhibition, and listening with trembling expectation, as she passes, to the shouts of disapprobation or applause that burst from the surrounding multitude."〔Blunden 1930 qtd p. 31〕
