Il n'est en effet pas possible de réduire toute son activité à la seule composition du «poème» 1, d'ignorer notamment ses œuvres latines et d'imaginer qu'il ait oublié sa culture humaniste durant les quinze dernières années de sa vie. Or, le contraste est évident entre ses œuvres mineures de goût humaniste (les œuvres latines, les Eglogues en italien , le Timon inspiré de Lucien) et son poème cheva- leresque modelé sur des œuvres populaires que les humanistes méprisaient volontiers. Son Canzoniere, dont le titre classicisant, Amorum libri, est signifi- catif, combine certes diverses sources, mais il apparaît précisément comme une tentative de synthèse raffinée dans laquelle la poésie latine et les thèmes néo- platoniciens viennent enrichir le legs de la poésie lyrique médiévale et du pé- trarquisme, ce qui semble fort éloigné de l'esprit général du poème, si éloigné même que Pier Vincenzo Mengaldo a pu parler d'un tel hiatus entre les deux œuvres, qu'on n'en saurait trouver d'équivalent dans l'histoire italienne toute entière 2.

  • Orlando Innamorato, the first Renaissance Epic About the Common Customs Of, and the Conflicts R Between, Christian Europe and Islam
    Renaissance Literature I Boiardo RLANDO NNAMORATO O O I T “Neglect of Italian romances robs us of a whole species of pleasure and narrows our very conception of literature. It is as if a man left out Homer, or Elizabethan drama, or the novel. ORLANDO IN LOVE A For like these, the romantic epic of Italy is one of the great trophies of the European genius: RLANDO a genuine kind, not to be replaced by any other, and illustrated by an extremely copious and L brilliant production. It is one of the successes, the undisputed achievements.” —C. S. Lewis Matteo Maria Boiardo I Like Ariosto’s Orlando Furioso and Tasso’s Jerusalem Delivered, Boiardo’s chivalric stories of lords and ladies first entertained the culturally innovative court of Ferrara in the Italian Translated with A Renaissance.

I Charles Stanley Ross Today it seems more than ever appropriate to offer a new, unabridged edition of Boiardo’s NNAMORATO Orlando Innamorato, the first Renaissance epic about the common customs of, and the conflicts R between, Christian Europe and Islam. Having extensively revised his earlier translation for general readers, Charles Ross has added headings and helpful summaries to Boiardo’s cantos.

  • Download National Epics
    National Epics by Kate Milner Rabb National Epics by Kate Milner Rabb E-text prepared by David Starner, S.R. Ellison, and the Online Distributed Proofing Team NATIONAL EPICS BY KATE MILNER RABB 1896 TO MY MOTHER. PREFACE. This volume is intended for an introduction to the study of the epics. While the simplicity and directness of the epic style seem to make such a page 1 / 589 book unnecessary, the fact that to many persons of literary tastes some of these great poems are inaccessible, and that to many more the pleasure of exploring for themselves "the realms of gold" is rendered impossible by the cares of business, has seemed sufficient excuse for its being. Though the beauty of the original is of necessity lost in a condensation of this kind, an endeavor has been made to preserve the characteristic epithets, and to retain what Mr. Arnold called "the simple truth about the matter of the poem." It is believed that the sketch prefacing each story, giving briefly the length, versification, and history of the poem, will have its value to those readers who have not access to the epics, and that the selections following the story, each recounting a complete incident, will give a better idea of the epic than could be formed from passages scattered through the text. The epic originated among tribes of barbarians, who deified departed heroes and recited legends in praise of their deeds. As the hymn developed, the chorus and strophe were dropped, and the narrative only was preserved. The word "epic" was used simply to distinguish the narrative poem, which was recited, from the lyric, which was sung, and from the dramatic, which was acted.

Après une présentation succincte des céramiques du corpus, il s’agit d’analyser le passage du livre illustré aux figures peintes et les modalités de trans- position de l’épopée à travers le cas d’étude des pièces réalisées dans l’atelier derutais de Giacomo Mancini, afin d’envisager dans un dernier temps comment ces pièces ont pu ac- quérir une signification indépendante du texte auprès de leurs commanditaires. mots clés : gravure, majolique, Giolito Gabriele, Mancini Giacomo, Xanto Avelli, Fran- cesco schlagwörter : Gravur; Majolika; Giolito Gabriele; Mancini Giacomo; Xanto Avelli, Francesco Riche d’une double intertextualité antique et médiévale, l’Orlando furioso de l’Arioste foisonne de scènes de combat et d’épisodes merveilleux et présente une galerie de personnages fortement typés, si bien que l’épopée a considéra- blement imprégné l’imaginaire des arts du xvie siècle. Si le poète de Ferrare, en Virgile de son temps, chante « le donne, i cavallier, l’arme, gli amori, le cortesie, l’audaci imprese », les artistes, eux, leur ont donné corps et couleurs sur les murs des palais, les crédences et les armures des Princes.
