- Synopsis
- With this lively new verse translation, Slavitt introduces readers to Ariosto's now neglected masterpiece poem whose impact on Western literature can scarcely be exaggerated. It was a major influence on Spenser's Faerie Queene. William Shakespeare borrowed one of its plots. Voltaire called it the equal of the Iliad, the Odyssey, and Don Quixote combined.
