"A Modern Retelling of Italian Epic Poetry"
For several centuries troubadours and jongleurs in the south of France and in Northern Italy created a cycle of legends regarding Charlemagne and his knights. These tales were popular with nobles and the masses. Later, these stories were compiled and expanded by poets in both French and Italian.
Local author, Linda C. McCabe, has undertaken the ambitious project of adapting two of these epic poems, Orlando innamorato by Matteo Maria Boiardo and Orlando furioso by Ludovico Ariosto, into a series of novels for modern day readers. McCabe traveled to France, Italy, and Germany to perform research for her trilogy. Her presentation will be part travelogue and part literary discussion about the legends of Charlemagne and the lasting cultural impact of these classic tales that are still popular in Italy, especially in Sicily where Opera dei Pupi thrives to this day.
Copies of her novels, Quest of the Warrior Maiden and Fate of the Saracen Knight, will be available for sale after the presentation.
The talk is limited to 30 guests and reservations must be received by May 14, 2019 to the North Bay Italian Cultural Foundation. The downloadable form follows. There is a small cost of $5 per guest and all proceeds support the SRJC Scholarship Fund and NBICF Cultural Activities.
