Description: ` I sing of knights and ladies of love and arms of courtly chivalry of courageous deeds. So begins Ariosto's Orlando Furioso (1532) the culmination of the chivalric legends of Charlemagne and the Saracen invasion of France. It is a brilliantly witty parody of the medieval romances and a fitting monument to the court society of the Italian Renaissance which gave them birth. This unabridged prose translation faithfully captures the narrative entire and is a kaleidoscope of scenes and emotions of fact and fantasy.
