This collection of essays brings together twelve noted Italian and American scholars to provide a complete picture of Ariosto and all his works, covering topics such as historical criticism relating to Ariosto's place and time; philological investigations into the varying literary styles of the author, especially outside of the Furioso; Ariosto's extrinsic relationships with other literary traditions; and formal and thematic excavations of the immanent aesthetics of the Furioso.Each essayist acknowledges the fact that Ariosto's creations are charged with allusions and allegiances variously inviting recognition or demanding the status of record. This reading of his works reveals that Ariosto was not a writer who believed, as it was previously thought, that literature is something escapist or fantastic in nature, but one who, in writing and re-writing his works, tried to re-interpret literary tradition while incorporating the new literary instruments that were available to him at the time: Ariosto's literary production is an integration of tradition and invention. This new reading of his work will be essential to any Italianist's library. 410 0$aToronto Italian studies.$pMajor Italian authors 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / European / Italian$2bisacsh 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / European / Italian. 676 $a851/.3 702 $aBeecher$b Donald 702 $aCiavolella$b Massimo$f1942- 702 $aFedi$b Roberto 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456449503321 996 $aAriosto today$92477362 997 $aUNINA
