  • 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.

  • 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. Inventive, humorous, inexhaustible, the story recounts Orlando’s love-stricken ORLANDO IN LOVE pursuit of “the fairest of her Sex, Angelica” (in Milton’s terms) through a fairyland that an Introduction N combines the military valors of Charlemagne’s knights and their famous horses with the and Notes by enchantments of King Arthur’s court. 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. E Tenses have been regularized, and terms of gender and religion have been updated, but not so much as to block the reader’s encounter with how Boiardo once viewed the world.

  • 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.

  • A Letter to Dr. Percy
    A Letter to Dr. Percy JOHN BOWLE The text presented here, which has never before been reprint- ed, has claims to be the founding document of Don Quijote scholarship—on the topic, still debated after two centuries, of how the work should be edited. This Letter appeared in 1777 as an announcement of John Bowle’s edition of Don Quijote, published four years later. Bowle’s edition, still valued by Quijote scholars, was not only the first annotated edition. It was also the first for which multiple editions were collated, the first to annotate emen- dations to the text, the first with numbered lines, and the first to have an index. In the interests of accessibility and readability, this Letter has been modernized throughout, and errors—whether typographical or misspellings by Bowle—have been corrected, usually tacitly. The texts he quotes have been modernized as well. Bowle writes “shews,” “cotemporary,” “justs,” “Dutchess,” and “Quixote”; these become “shows,” “contemporary,” “jousts,” “Duchess,” and “Qui- jote.” Feijoo’s Theatro critico has become Teatro crítico. The use of capitals, punctuation, italic, and division into paragraphs are also modern, as are the subheadings at the beginning of many para- graphs. The English translations of quotations in Spanish have been omitted, but I have supplied what Bowle believed superflu- ous, translations of the quotations in Latin. I have suppressed as 95 96 JOHN BOWLE Cervantes unnecessary Bowle’s use of “folio” and “quarto” in bibliographical descriptions. References to the text of Don Quijote have been stan- dardized, supplying part and chapter number. In some cases I have added information in footnotes, or clari- fied Bowle’s bibliographical references.
