Above and below this scene are images from Matteo Maria Boiardo's Orlando innamorato (part II, canto VII-VIII), featuring Fiordelisa and Brandimarte. This is accomplished -- we will see -- in a uniquely Ariostan adaptation of the romance compositional technique of entrelacement, or interlace that he had inherited from a long and well established tradition, and especially from his great Ferrarese precursor, Matteo Maria Boiardo, whose unfinished Orlando innamorato the Furioso sets out to complete. Aptly positioned at the opening of the section titled "Fortune" is David Quint's "On the Fortunes of Morgana," which traces a history of reception of Orlando Innamorato through the imitations of that episode, and shows how, in a period of great cultural and moral changes, the multiplicity and the open-endedness of Morgana's story became the emblem of the poem and its confidence in the outcome of the knights' struggles against Fortune. |
