Excerpt from The King of Court Poets: A Study of the Work, Life and Time of Lodovico Ariosto Seeing that, in the former volume, I gave as complete a picture as I could of the political and literary conditions of Ferrara. Down to the years that immediaw preceded the first League of Cambrai and the wars ensuing upon it, I have not thought necessary to describe again the history of the times in which the poet's youth and early manhood were passed, nor to reintroduce the persons with whom he was brought into contact, since I must assume that my readers have already made their acquaintance in my previous book. In my first two chapters, therefore, I deal mainly with the poet's own life during this period - repeating, for the sake of cornpleteness, a few things touching the evolution of the Drama in Ferrara, while reserving, until a later chapter, the production of Ariosto's first and second comedies; but, for the wetnenturing torefer my readers back to the other volume.
