"My Muse Will Have a Story to Paint"

Selected Prose of Ludovico Ariosto

By: Lodovico Ariosto,Massimo Ciavolella

Ariosto's correspondence paints a detailed portrait of the world he lived and wrote in. While some letters illuminate his day-to-day life, including his work as a provincial commissioner for the ruling Este family of Ferrara, others shed light on the composition and production of his poems and plays, allowing a glimpse of the man in his creative workshop. Herbal Doctor, a parody of humanism in general and neoplatonic philosophy in particular, may mark a defense of Ariosto's decision to turn away from the philological world of his contemporaries in order to pursue a different kind of learning.

Orlando Furioso

A New Verse Translation

By: Lodovico Ariosto,David R. Slavitt

The appearance of David Slavitt's translation of 'Orlando Furioso', one of the great literary achievements of the Italian Renaissance, is a publishing event. With this translation, Slavitt introduces readers to Ariosto's now neglected masterpiece, a poem whose Western literature can scarcely be exaggerated.

Orlando Furioso (Volume II, Cantos 25-46)

By: Ludovico Ariosto

Ludovico Ariosto (1474-1533) was the oldest of 10 children being the successor to the patriarchal position of his family. From his earliest years, Ludovico was interested in poetry, but was obliged by his father, a commander of the Reggio Emilia citadel, to study law. In 1517, he served under the cardinal's brother, Alfonso, duke of Ferrara, and it was then that he began writing his masterpiece and romance epic "Orlando Furioso." The earliest version appeared in 1516 but was not published in its complete form until 1532. The poem is a prolongation of Matteo Maria Boiardo's work, "Orlando Innamorato," and is separated into two volumes consisting of forty-six cantos in all. Volume II includes cantos 25-46 describing the adventures of Orlando, Charlemagne, and the Franks as they combat against the Saracens with diversions into many side plots. Ariosto includes many fantastical elements and creatures, yet the most important plot centers around Orlando's unreciprocated love for the pagan princess Angelica, which develops into the insanity of the title.
