Résumé

Matteo Maria Boiardo's "The Orlando Innamorato" stands as a groundbreaking epic that intricately weaves themes of love, chivalry, and the heroic quest within the context of Renaissance literature. Written in elaborate terza rima, Boiardo employs a rich tapestry of allegory and vivid imagery to navigate the tumultuous relationship between love and knightly duty. Set against the backdrop of the medieval romance tradition, the narrative chronicles the adventures of the valiant Orlando and his tumultuous passions, blending realism with the fantasy of a mythical world where knights embark on quests that test their moral fiber and romantic ideals.
Boiardo, hailing from a noble family, was profoundly influenced by the socio-political tensions of 15th-century Italy and the legacy of earlier chivalric tales. His artistic pursuits were further shaped by his connections to the courtly culture of Ferrara, which fostered a deep appreciation for literature and the arts. This cultural milieu provided Boiardo with the inspiration to reconcile the ideals of courtly love with the humanist principles emerging during his time, making his work a precursor to later epic poems.
"The Orlando Innamorato" is a must-read for anyone fascinated by the evolution of epic poetry and the complexities of human emotions. Readers will find themselves captivated not only by Boiardo's masterful storytelling but also by his profound insights into love and valor that resonate through the ages. This monumental work invites exploration and reflection, offering a captivating journey into the heart of Renaissance thought.
