David R. Slavitt translates the missing cantos & stanzas of Ariosto's Orlando Furioso -- wild, rich stories of love and valor that have influenced writers since the early
Renaissance, from Spenser and Shakespeare to Borges and Calvino. Compiled as a companion to the Harvard University Press edition of Enchanted knights, transgendered princesses, and Ariosto's essential and timeless wit . . . Lacunae is the completion of a translation of a major work of Renaissance literature, in a lively and thoroughly engaging performance. Praise for David R. Slavitt: "[Slavitt's] translation is witty, playful, outrageous, yet serious and sombre too. Crucially it is effortlessly readable." Doireann Lalor, Times Literary Supplement "Slavitt's easy-going, colloquial approach possesses a lightness and brio, a sweet playfulness (touched with irony) that carries the reader effortlessly, happily along. . ." Michael Dirda, Washington Post |
