Ariosto's prose ; An extraordinary letter -- Letters -- Herbal doctor. 330 $a"Ludovico Ariosto, best known for his 1516 epic poem Orlando furioso, was one of the great writers of the Italian Renaissance. In this collection, Dennis Looney assembles a diverse compendium of Ariosto's prose, including his 214 Letters and a satirical piece, Herbal Doctor. 330 $aAriosto's correspondence paints a detailed portrait of the world he lived and wrote in. While some letters illuminate his day-to-day life, including his work as a provincial commissioner for the ruling Este family of Ferrara, others shed light on the composition and production of his poems and plays, allowing a glimpse of the man in his creative workshop. Herbal Doctor, a parody of humanism in general and neoplatonic philosophy in particular, may mark a defense of Ariosto's decision to turn away from the philological world of his contemporaries in order to pursue a different kind of learning. 330 $aLooney's elegant, careful translation provides us with the first extensive selection of Ariosto's prose works in English, and enriches our understanding of one of Italy's most important Renaissance writers."--Pub. desc. 410 0$aLorenzo da Ponte Italian library series. 606 $aHISTORY / Renaissance$2bisacsh 615 7$aHISTORY / Renaissance. 676 $a851/.3 700 $aAriosto$b Lodovico$f1474-1533,$0192228 702 $aLooney$b Dennis, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820041503321 996 $a"My muse will have a story to paint"$94040534 997 $aUNINA
