'Ariosto Today: Contemporary Perspectives is a very fine work, offering an excellent selection of essays on a wide variety of issues in the writing of this Italian prodigy, penned by a dozen of the best scholars in the field ... The content of this collection breaks considerable ground in Ariosto scholarship, and is certain to captivate the interest of the major labourers in the literary Renaissance. These essays are not merely occasional or incidental pieces. Nearly each of them brings exceptional insight to the understanding of one of Europe's most fascinating poets.'
