About the book
"Translated here for the first time into English, Sergio Zatti's The Quest for Epic is a selection of studies on the two major poets of the Italian Renaissance, Ludovico Ariosto and Torquato Tasso, by one of the most important literary critics writing in Italy today. An original and challenging work, The Quest for Epic documents the development of Italian narrative from the chivalric romance at the end of the fifteenth century to the epic literature of the sixteenth century."--Jacket.
First sentence: 1 Recent studies have emphasized how the chivalric romance genre supplied Ariosto with a narrative and thematic code that was at once highly flexible and equipped with well-formulated rules.
