埃德蒙·斯宾塞在《仙后》中通过对亚瑟、布里弢玛特和阿西高三个人物的塑造展开了对不列颠的想象。这三个人物关系密切,以亚瑟为核心,共同组成了代表英格兰、威尔士和爱尔兰联合的不列颠。他们都强大而正义,并且乐于主持正义。这种不列颠想象的本质是欧洲普世主义:斯宾塞诉诸自然法和新教为干涉侵占辩护,并且以双重标准对待相同的行为。现实中的受害者成了诗中三位骑士斩杀的僭主,与三位骑士交手的恶人多半有异教徒或天主教徒色彩,同时他们都以双重标准包庇纵容下属的暴行。
Edmund Spencer, in The Faith, embarked on her imagination of Britain by shaping the figures of Arthur, Bridgette and Assigne. Closely linked to these three people, Arthur as the core, together formed on behalf of England, Wales and Ireland, the United Kingdom. They are both strong and just, and they are willing to take the lead. The essence of this British imagination is European universalism: Spencer resorts to natural law and protestations to justify interference and encroachment, and treats the same behavior with double standards. Victims in reality became the masters of beheading by the three knights in the poem. Most of the wicked people who dealt with the three knights were pagan or Catholic, and at a double standard they both covered the indignation accorded to subordinates.
