The King of Court Poets: A Study of the Work, Life and Times of Lodovico Ariosto is a book written by Edmund G. Gardner. The book is a comprehensive study of the life and work of Lodovico Ariosto, who is considered one of the greatest poets of the Italian Renaissance. Ariosto was born in Reggio Emilia, Italy, in 1474 and is best known for his epic poem Orlando Furioso, which tells the story of the knight Orlando and his adventures.The book delves into Ariosto's early life, his education, and his early literary works. It also explores his career as a courtier and diplomat, as well as his relationships with other writers and intellectuals of his time. The book provides a detailed analysis of Ariosto's poetry, including his use of language, imagery, and themes.In addition to examining Ariosto's life and work, the book also provides a broader context for understanding the Italian Renaissance. It discusses the political and social changes taking place in Italy during the 15th and 16th centuries, as well as the intellectual and artistic movements that were shaping the culture of the time.Overall, The King of Court Poets is a rich and engaging exploration of the life and work of one of Italy's most important literary figures. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Italian Renaissance literature, poetry, or history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
