Divided into three parts (Tradition; Interpretation; Reception), this multi-contributed book aims to establish what Ariosto's poem Orlando furioso was in its own time, at key stages during its five-century history, and of course what it means today. In revisiting Ariosto's dream, it tries to answer the question: is it still alive?

Maria Pavlova obtained her doctorate from the University of Oxford in 2015, and then held a Joanna Randall MacIver Junior Research Fellowship at St Hugh's College. In 2018 she joined the University of Warwick as a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow. Her main research interests lie in late medieval and Renaissance Italian literature, especially the chivalric genre. Her forthcoming monograph, Saracens and their World in Boiardo and Ariosto, investigates the multi-faceted figure of the religious Other in Boiardo's I n amoramento de Orlando, Ariosto's Orlando furioso, and more generally in the literature and culture of the Italian Renaissance.
