Produced by Stan Goodman, Jayam Subramanian and PG Distributed Proofreaders "Stories from the Italian Poets: with Lives of the Writers, Volume 2" by Leigh Hunt is a collection of literary analyses and retellings of classic tales from Italian poets written in the mid-19th century. This volume encompasses a critical examination of notable poets such as Boiardo, Ariosto, and Tasso, providing insights into their lives and the themes prevalent in their works, notably the intertwining of love, chivalry, and adventure. The opening of the volume presents a critical notice of Matteo Maria Boiardo, highlighting his status as a nobleman and a poet who balanced his literary pursuits with civic duties. Hunt first introduces Boiardo's background, detailing his affluent upbringing and education that prepared him for both public life and poetry. The narrative then transitions into a discussion of Boiardo's unfinished epic, "Orlando Innamorato," which revolves around the love story of Orlando and Angelica, along with the trials and tribulations faced by various characters as they navigate a world filled with enchantment and chivalric quests. This sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Boiardo's contributions to Italian literature and the broader chivalric tradition. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
