Third Edition "revised and amended" of the first complete translation into English of Ariosto's epic romance poem with lavish engraved illustrations. This translation originally published in and reprinted in His "translation" is a paraphrase rather than a direct translation written in the same eight-line stanzas as the original and emulating its ease and flow.
Ariosto's Italian epic poem perhaps the greatest romantic epic ever written and probably the longest was first published in and in its complete form in Set in the age of Charlemagne and the Saracen invaders it is the love story of Orlando and the pagan princess Angelica interspersed with fantasy and magic a trip to the moon a giant sea monster musings about Japan. Arranged in 46 cantos each with full-page engraving in this edition each containing a variable number of stanzas in ottava rima running to lines.
A work of great energy and occasional inspiration.
