Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Orlando Furioso, Vol. 1 of 2: Translated Into English Verse, From the Italian of Ludovico Ariosto, With Notes William Stewart Rose was the second son of the Eight Hon. George Rose of Cuffnells, Treasurer of the Navy, &c., so long the friend and useful ally of Mr. Pitt. He was born in 1775, and educated first at Eton, (where he left a record of his classical attainments, in the Musoe Etonenses,) and subsequently at Cambridge, but quitted the University after a short residence to take a seat in Parliament, which he vacated on receiving the Office of Reading Clerk to the House of Lords. His literary tendencies soon manifested themselves, and at the suggestion of his father, altogether a practical man, he began "A Naval History of the late War," of which the first and only volume was published in 1802. The next year, indulging the bent of his own inclinations, which tended strongly to elegant literature, he translated and adapted from the French versions the Romance of "Amadis de Gaul." This was followed in 1807 by the Romance of "Partenopex de Blois," translated into verse from the French of M. Le Grand, to which he appended his beautiful ballad of "The Red King;" and in 1810 he published a quarto volume of poems entitled "the Crusade of St. Louis and King Edward the Martyr." A few years afterwards, he visited the East, and then resided two years in Italy, with the language and literature of which country he made himself most accurately acquainted, so that it became the basis of all his subsequent studies and publications.
