This is Volume 2 of the classic Italian epic poem, Orlando Furioso by Ludovico Ariosto, presented here in a historical edition published in 1785. A sweeping romance of war, love, and chivalry, Orlando Furioso follows the knight Orlando as he is driven mad by unrequited love. Set against the backdrop of the war between Charlemagne and the Saracens, the poem weaves together multiple narrative threads, filled with fantastical creatures, magical weapons, and daring adventures. This edition offers readers a glimpse into the historical reception of one of the most important works of the Italian Renaissance.
