Publisher's Synopsis
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 -- also translated by Slavitt -- Lacunae picks up where the other leaves off, revealing the many adventures and quests the other left out. 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.
