Orlando Furioso

Poem written in 1516 by Ludovico Ariosto, first published in 1516 (revised 1522, 1532) as a sequel to Matteo Maria Boiardo'sOrlando innamorato (1487). The poem describes the unrequited love of Orlando for Angelica, set against the war between Saracens (Arabs) and Christians during the reign of the first Holy Roman Emperor, Charlemagne. The work was a success in Ariosto's own lifetime; it was later translated into French, Spanish, English (by Sir John Harington), and Polish.
