Synopsis
Excerpt from The First Canto of Ricciardetto; Translated From the Italian of Forteguerri: With an Introduction, Concerning the Principal Romantic, Burlesque, and Mock-Heroic Poets; And Notes, Critical and Philological
A few copies of this little book were printed some months ago. I had no fixed design at that time of submitting it to the criticism and presumed candour of the public at large. The circumstances which gave occasion to its being written, at least the part which is in verse, are correctly set forth in the Introduction: the very mis cellaneous notes are such as most probably might have occurred to me had it been, not my own, but the production of a friend who had entrusted it to my perusal. I do not say that I was entirely determined not to publish when I first sent my manu script to the press: but the mere printing, correcting the errata, and adding the notes as chance suggested them, served to amuse me, then in bad health and spirits.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a critical analysis of Niccolà Forteguerri's chivalric burlesque poem, Ricciardetto. Forteguerri's work, which was inspired by the romantic poems of Italy, including the likes of Pulci's Morgante, Ariosto's Orlando Furioso, Boiardo's Orlando Innamorato, and Lippi's Malmantile Racquistato, stands as a notable example of its genre. The author delves into the key characteristics and themes of Ricciardetto, examining its use of humor, mockery, and the blending of the lofty with the more traditionally farcical. They explore the poem's place within the broader context of European literary history and consider the influence that Forteguerri's approach has had on subsequent works of literature. Ultimately, this book provides unique insight into Forteguerri's significant contribution to the tradition of chivalric burlesque and its literary legacy.
