Summary "Renaissance in Italy, Volume 5" by John Addington Symonds is a historical account written during the late 19th century. The work delves into the rich tapestry of Italian literature during the Renaissance era, exploring prominent authors, significant works, and the cultural context that shaped them. This volume captures the essence of the period, emphasizing its literary contributions and their impact on both Italy and the broader European narrative. The opening of this volume introduces the pivotal themes surrounding key literary figures and their works, particularly focusing on Ariosto's "Orlando Furioso." Symonds lays the groundwork for understanding how Ariosto's poem expresses the spirit of the Renaissance, contrasting it with Dante's "Divina Commedia" from the Middle Ages. The discussion highlights Ariosto’s stylistic innovations and thematic explorations, encompassing romanticism, chivalry, and the interplay of personal desires against broader societal contexts. Symonds emphasizes how this poetic work stands as a reflection of an age in transition, illustrating the complexities of human emotion and societal ideals that define Ariosto's narrative.
