Cavallo challenges previous critical assumptions about the trajectory of the romance genre, especially regarding questions of creative imitation, allegory, ideology, and political engagement.In tracing the development of the romance epic against the historical context of the Ferrarese court and the Italian peninsula, Cavallo moves from a politically engaged Boiardo, whose poem promotes the tenets of humanism, to an individualistic Tasso, who opposed the repressive aspects of the counter-reformation culture he is often thought to represent. Ariosto is read from the vantage of his predecessor Boiardo, and Cavallo describes his cynicism and later mellowing attitude toward the real-world relevance of his and Boiardo's fiction. The Romance Epics of Boiardo, Ariosto, and Tasso is the first critical study to bring together the three poets in a coherent vision that maps changes while uncovering continuities. 410 0$aToronto Italian studies. 606 $aEpic poetry, Italian$xHistory and criticism 606 $aRomances, Italian$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEpic poetry, Italian$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aRomances, Italian$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a851.03209 700 $aCavallo$b Jo Ann$0742396 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456536803321 996 $aThe romance epics of Boiardo, Ariosto, and Tasso$92454545 997 $aUNINA
