In The Enemy in Italian Renaissance Epic, Andrea Moudarres examines influential works from the literary canon of the Italian Renaissance, arguing that hostility consistently arises from within political or religious entities. In Dante's Divina Commedia, Luigi Pulci's Morgante, Ludovico Ariosto's Orlando Furioso, and Torquato Tasso's Gerusalemme Liberata, enmity is portrayed as internal, taking the form of tyranny, betrayal, and civil discord. Moudarres reads these works in the context of historical and political patterns, demonstrating that there was little distinction between public and private spheres in Renaissance Italy and, thus, little differentiation between personal and political enemies. Distributed for the University of Delaware Press.
Between fathers and sons: sowers of enmity in Inferno 28 -- The enemy within the walls: treachery, pride, and civil strife in Pulci's Morgante -- The enemy as the self: madness and tyranny in Ariosto's Orlando Furioso -- The geography of the enemy: Christian and Islamic empires from the fall of Constantinople to Tasso's Gerualemme Liberata.
