Ludovico Ariosto

Ludovico Ariosto was born in 1474, the son of an official of the Ferrarese court. He first studied law, but later acquired a sound humanistic training. His adult life was spent in the service of the Ferrarese ducal family. Essentially he was a writer; his lifetime's service as a courtier was a burden imposed on him by economic difficulties. His fame rests on his major work, Orlando Furioso. The poem was probably begun around 1505. It was first published in 1516. The most important of Arisoto's minor works are five comedies, written for production in the Ferrarese court. Ariosto died in 1533.

Samenvatting

Orlando Furioso was first published in 1516. It is an epic poem whose impact on Western literature cannot be overstated. Jorge Luis Borges was a fan. Italo Calvino drew inspiration from it. Voltaire called it the equal of the Iliad, the Odyssey, and Don Quixote combined.

Orlando Furioso is Dante’s medieval universe turned upside down and made comic.

At the heart of Ariosto’s romance are Orlando’s unrequited love for the pagan princess Angelica—and his jealous rage when she elopes.

The action takes place against a besieged Paris, as Charlemagne and his Christian paladins defend the city against the Saracen king.

LUDOVICO ARIOSTO (1474 – 1533) was an Italian poet best known as the author of the epic poem Orlando Furioso. The poem portrays the adventures of Charlemagne, Orlando, and the Franks as they battle against the Saracens.

“Ludovico Ariosto's irresistible masterpiece effortlessly blends chivalry, love and magic. Think of it as a knightly soap opera, complete with cliff-hangers, erotic intrigue and one melodramatic improbability after another, all of it conveyed with just the right colloquial bounce…”

-Michael Dirda, Washington Post
