“…for the same reason that Ariosto gives concerning Angelica…” (Shelley 62)
Ludovico Ariosto is known for his epic romance Orlando Furioso, which means Orlando in Love, in Italian. In this romance Ariosto is in love with Angelica, she is a pagan princess that is considered to be the fairest, most angelic, most beautiful woman known to man. Shelley is comparing Justine to Angelica and saying that Justine obtains the same majestic beauty as Angelica.
