Enfin, dans l'intérêt commun, nous nous permettons de demander à tout membre de la Société qui aura publié un article ou un ouvrage touchant de près ou de loin à l'épopée romane, de bien vouloir, s'il veut être absolument sûr de voir son travail cité dans le prochain Bulletin bibliographique, le signaler au secrétaire de sa section nationale et à la rédaction du Bulletin. * Le XVIe Congrès de la Société Rencesvals se tiendra du lundi 21 au vendredi 25 juillet à l'Université de Grenade. Les tra- vaux se dérouleront à la Facultad de Filosofìa y Letras, sur le campus universitaire de Cartuja. Les thèmes retenus par le Bureau international sont les sui- vants : 1) L'épopée et le Romancero ancien; 2) Les épopées tardives dans leurs relations avec les autres genres; 3) Épopée, généalogie, historiographie; 4) Espace et temps dans les textes épiques; 5) Rela- tions entre l'épopée et le monde arabe; 6) Divers. — 7 — IN MEMORIAM Albert HENRY (1910-2002) Professeur émérite de l'Université Libre de Bruxelles, membre de l'Académie Royale de Belgique, membre de notre Société depuis sa fondation, Albert Henry nous a quittés : il s'est éteint dans la région de Nancy le 22 février 2002. Né à Grand-Manil (Gembloux) le 20 mai 1910, il fît ses études primaires et secondaires dans sa province namuroise et ses études universitaires à l'Université Libre de Bruxelles, où il fut l'élève de Julia Bastin, de Gustave Charlier et de Lucien-Paul Thomas. Doc- teur en 1932 et lauréat du Concours des bourses, il s'en fut en octobre 1934 à Paris, où il bénéficia pendant un an des enseigne- ments de Joseph Bédier, de Gustave Cohen, de Georges Millardet et de Mario Roques, et où il noua avec Georges Straka et Gian- franco Contini des liens d'amitié qui ne devaient jamais se défaire. À partir d'octobre 1936, il obtint au F.N.R.S. un mandat d'as- pirant attaché à l'U.L.B. Il va y déploier une activité scientifique soutenue. Au moment de sa mobilisation en septembre 1939, sa bibliographie compte trois volumes (dont l'édition du Roman du Hem de Sarrasin et la petite anthologie Testi valloni e moderni publiée à Modène) et vingt articles, où se manifestent déjà le large spectre des intérêts et la compétence d'un romaniste complet : on y relève, à côté d'études sur le Roman d'Alexandre, sur le théâtre médiéval et sur Cleomadès, des notes de lexique (ancien français, wallon, arragonais), une étude sur la phonétique de l'ancien lié- geois, une note sur le Poema de myo Cid et une étude intitulée Gongora et Paul Valéry, deux incarnations de Don Quichotte. Vint une pénible captivité de cinq ans. Une longue saison qui vit mûrir la gerbe de cette Offrande wallonne, méditation fervente et nostalgique sur la romanité, sur notre identité, notre tempéra- ment, nos paysages, nos dialectes. — 9 — De retour au pays, Albert Henry fut, dès 1946, appelé à l'Uni- versité de Gand, où il enseigna jusqu'en 1958, avant de revenir à l'U.L.B. Il fut un professeur attentif et exigeant, qui obligeait ses étudiants à se dépasser pour le suivre sur les multiples chemins qu'il explorait. L'œuvre qu'il nous laisse est l'œuvre d'un maître, impression- nante dans son ampleur et sa diversité, nourrie d'un fervent amour du langage et d'une intuition pénétrante du fait stylistique, offerte dans une écriture limpide, où l'effort vigoureux du chercheur disparaît derrière une simplicité très calculée : 34 volumes et 244 articles (*), sans compter les nombreux comptes rendus, les éloges de collègues et les présentations d'ouvrages. On évoquera d'abord l'ensemble dédié aux poètes modernes : une édition, avec traductions françaises, études et notes, des Grands poèmes andalous de Federico García Lorca; un volume et quatre articles consacrés à la langue de Paul Valéry; deux volumes et une vingtaine d'articles, à l'exégèse de Rimbaud; enfin une lec- ture de la poésie de Saint-John Perse, « poésie du mouvement », et les précieuses éditions critiques commentées des recueils Amitié du Prince, Anabase et Nocturne, parues après la mort du poète, avec qui il s'était lié d'amitié.

  • Renaissance and Reformation, 1978-79
    Sound and Silence in Ariosto's Narrative DANIEL ROLFS Ever attentive to the Renaissance ideals of balance and harmony, the poet of the Orlando Furioso, in justifying an abrupt transition from one episode of his work to another, compares his method to that of the player of an instrument, who constantly changes chord and varies tone, striving now for the flat, now for the sharp. ^ Certainly this and other similar analogies of author to musician^ well characterize much of the artistry of Ludovico Ariosto, who, like Tasso, even among major poets possesses an unusually keen ear, and who continually enhances his narrative by means of imaginative and often complex plays upon sound. The same keenness of ear, however, also enables Ariosto to enrich numerous scenes and episodes of his poem through the creation of the deepest of silences. The purpose of the present study is to examine and to illustrate the wide range of his literary techniques in each regard. While much of the poet's sensitivity to the aural can readily be observed in his similes alone, many of which contain a vivid auditory component,^ his more significant treatments of sound are of course found throughout entire passages of his work. Let us now turn to such passages, which, for the convenience of the non-speciaUst, will be cited in our discussion both in the Italian text edited by Remo Ceserani, and in the excellent English prose translation by Allan Gilbert."* In one instance, contrasting sounds, or perhaps more accurately, the trans- formation of one sound into another, even serves the implied didactic content of an episode with respect to the important theme of distin- guishing illusion from reality.

Abstracts English While existing theories of romance (in particular, those formulated by Northrop Frye and Fredric Jameson) accurately characterize this literary mode as a highly politicized example of art, this thesis contends that the political nature of romance is broader and more complex than discussed so far. In order to offer a new and comprehensive political theory of romance, this work proposes a comparison between two historically and culturally diverse examples of romance, that is Matteo Maria Boiardo’s chivalric poem Inamoramento de Orlando and George Lucas’ space opera film Star Wars.

Narrative Metalepsen und die Erzähltechnik des entrelacement Transgressive Relationierungen von discours und histoire, von erzählender Welt und erzählter Welt, können auch in diskreterer und weniger spektakulärer Weise realisiert sein, als dies in den meisten der bisher vorgestellten Beispiele der Fall war. Dabei ist vor allem an jene mehr oder weniger konventionalisierten narrativer Formeln zu denken, die primär und offensicht- lich im Dienst der diskursiven Organisation der histoire und Integration ihrer verschiedenen Handlungsstränge stehen. Vertraut sind solche Formeln aus auktorialen Erzähltexten des acht- zehnten und vor allem des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts; besonders häufig begegnen sie - aus naheliegenden, später aber noch näher ins Auge zu fassenden Gründen - in den figuren- und episodenreichen, vielsträngigen Genres des historischen und des Abenteuerromans. Sie sind jedoch, wie man sehen wird, schon vorher variantenreich vertreten und später, auch in erzähl- technisch avanzierter Literatur des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts, keinesfalls verpönt. Ich nenne zunächst einige Beispiele: [7] Leaving the Saxon chiefs to return to their banquet as soon as their ungratified curiosity should permit them to attend to the calls of their half-satiated appetite, we have to look in upon the yet more severe imprisonment of Isaac of York.

Yale Italian Studies, Vol. I, No. 1 (1977): 162-170. © 1977 Yale Italian Studies. Used with permission. The Moslem Enemy in Renaissance Epic: Ariosto, Tasso and Camoens John Patrick Donnelly, S.J. The Renaissance produced many tracts and descriptions dealing with Mos- lems, such as those by Ogier de Busbecq and Phillipe du Fresne-Canaye,' which remain the main source for gauging western attitudes toward Moslems, but these can be supplemented by popular literature which reflects, forms, and gives classic expression to the ideas and stereotypes of a culture.' This study examines and compares the image.of the Moslem in the three greatest epics of the sixteenth century, Ariosto's Orlando furioso, Tasso's Gerusalemme liberata, and Camoens's Os Lusiadas." All three epics enjoyed wide popularity and present Christian heroes struggling against Moslem enemies. Ludovico Ariosto, courtier to the d'Este lords of Ferrara, first published Orlando furioso in 1516 but continued to polish and expand it until 1532. With 38,728 lines, it is the longest poem of the Renaissance, perhaps of west- ern literature, to attain wide popularity. It describes the defense of Paris by Charlemagne and his knights against the Moors of Spain and Africa. This was traditional material already developed by the medieval chansons de geste and by Orlando innamorato of Matteo Maria Boiardo, who preceded Ariosto as court poet at Ferrara.

Reviewed by Nancy Dersofi, Bryn Mawr College This handsome volume of essays on Ariosto and Tassso addresses the contrasting styles of the two Renaissance epic poets whose works are both a milestone in literary history and a turning point in discussions about the nature of the modern narrative and how to read it. In her introduction, Finucci reviews the sixteenth-century argument that viewed Ariosto's Orlando furioso (1532), digressive, fragmented, ironic, as the epitome of chivalric romance and read Tasso's Gerusalemme liberata (1581) as a unified epic premised on a single moral truth, equal to the epic achievements of Homer and Virgil. Recent criticism has taken a different tack, celebrating Ariosto's skepticism and observing discontinuity in Tasso's poetics. Finucci presents her collection of essays as a book designed to explore new perspectives on the poems and to foster dialogue among the various critical approaches they represent.

  • Orlando Furioso by Ludovico Ariosto (1532) Orlando Furioso Is an Italian Epic Poem by Ludovico Ariosto Which Has Exerted a Wide Influence on Later Culture
    Galician Princess Isabella character in Orlando Furioso epic poem by Ludovico Ariosto (1532) Orlando Furioso by Ludovico Ariosto (1532) Orlando furioso is an Italian epic poem by Ludovico Ariosto which has exerted a wide influence on later culture. The earliest version appeared in 1516, although the poem was not published in its complete form until 1532. Orlando Furioso is a continuation of Matteo Maria Boiardo's unfinished romance Orlando Innamorato (Orlando in Love, published posthumously in 1495). In its historical setting and characters, it shares some features with the Old French Chanson de Roland of the eleventh century, which tells of the death of Roland. The story is also a chivalric romance which stemmed from a tradition beginning in the late 1 Middle Ages and continuing in popularity in the 16th century and well into the 17th.

  • Ludovico Ariosto's Orlando Furioso, the Thousand and One Nights, and the Hundred and One Nights
    Re/Writing the Orient: Ludovico Ariosto’s Orlando Furioso, the Thousand and One Nights, and the Hundred and One Nights Amanda Batarseh Canto XXIII marks a tragicomic turning point in the Orlando Furioso, as the tension sustaining the titular character’s epic stoicism and romantic chivalry falls away to reveal a maniacal anti- hero. This canto’s staging of Orlando’s madness is, in Albert Ascoli’s words, the “center of ‘otherness’ in the poem,”1 unsettling the binary of medieval and classical literary traditions that Ariosto draws on, and suggesting a novel genre of literary expression. In this article, I explore one of Ariosto’s avenues of disrupting ostensible polarities—his use of dynamic intertextual practices that write and rewrite the “Orient.” I contend that the Furioso both expresses and unsettles opposing impulses, something I will argue by reframing Ascoli’s elaboration of crisis (a “double focus” upon “concord and discord”) to encompass the geo-historical domain of Arabic cultural exchange in the medieval Mediterranean.2 Focusing on Ariosto’s resounding echoes of the Thousand and One Nights’ and the lesser-known Hundred and One Nights’ frame tales, I seek to illuminate the Furioso’s double focus upon movement toward and away from Muslim- Arab cultural affiliation, a push-pull that opens a space of difference where literary traditions can converge neither in reconciliation nor domination of one another. I examine in particular how Ariosto’s poem captures the ambiguous hybridity of the medieval Mediterranean: beginning with a cursory analysis of the Saracen figure as an unsettled construction of “self” and “other,” I then move to a parallel investigation of the poem’s dynamic intertextual practices.

  • Ludovico Ariosto: Orlando Furioso
    Ludovico Ariosto: Orlando Furioso (1532) Jo Ann Cavallo (Columbia University ) Genre: Poetry (any). Country: Italy. One of the best known works in Italian literature, the Orlando Furioso, is a continuation of the romance epic Orlando Innamorato, which was left unfinished at the ninth canto of Book Three when Boiardo died in 1494. Like Boiardo, Ariosto weaves together Carolingian and Arthurian themes into an intricately interlaced plot, creatively imitating a vast range of works—from classical epic poetry and history to medieval lyric and novella traditions—in order to surprise, delight, and signify. As he continues to mix imaginary sites and the geographical reality of a rapidly expanding globe, Ariosto not only meticulously completes the various threads of Boiardo’s poem, but also adds original episodes following his own creative genius and Weltanschauung. It is generally thought that Ariosto began writing his “gionta” (sequel) in 1505 after the publication of a mediocre fourth book by Niccolò degli Agostini. The first edition of the poem in 40 canti was completed in 1515 and appeared in print in 1516. Ariosto continued to work on the poem throughout his lifetime, producing a second edition in 1521 that contained relatively minor revisions and a definitive third edition in 1532 that included four additional episodes inserted within the poem, bringing the number of canti from 40 to 46. Ariosto had also worked on a continuation, in which Charlemagne’s realm was subsequently threatened both internally and externally by powerful behind-the-scenes forces fomenting violence, but this unfinished sequel, commonly referred to simply as the Cinque canti [Five canti], was never published during Ariosto’s lifetime and only appeared in print in 1545 as an “addition” to the Furioso thanks to Ariosto’s son Virginio (see Quint, introduction, Cinque canti).
