'Selene Scarsi's monograph, from Ashgate's Anglo-Italian Renaissance Studies Series, is the most comprehensive study to date of the complete and partial Elizabethan translations of Boiardo's Orlando Innamorato, Ariosto's Orlando Furioso, and Tasso's Gerusalemme Liberata, and it should become essential reading for future research on the translation and English Renaissance reception of these Italian poets. Scarsi's focus on how these translators ''English'' the female knights and characters in these Italian romance epics could also yield insights for gender critics of the period.' Renaissance Quarterly '... a scrupulous, well-organized, in-depth and detailed scholarly study offering a valuable contribution to the field of Translation Studies and to that of Anglo-Italian Renaissance Studies, in whose Ashgate series the volume is appropriately placed.' inTRAlinea '[Scarsi] brings to the field a rare commitment to minute verbal detail, an impressive command of rhetorical terms, and an exhaustive knowledge of nearly a century’s worth of criticism in two languages...
