Ariosto’s Orlando Furioso in Italian and English Renaissance
The course intends to read Ariosto’s Orlando furioso in its context, as a key to access the complexity of themes, motives, and issues of the Italian Renaissance. Ariosto’s work will be considered in a European perspective, and special attention will be devoted to the English reception of it.
