"The Pentameron" by Walter Savage Landor is a collection of five narrative poems, each depicting a different story or episode inspired by Italian folklore and literature. Landor, a celebrated English poet and writer of the Romantic period, imbues these tales with his characteristic lyrical style and vivid imagination. Drawing upon the rich tapestry of Italian culture and tradition, Landor weaves together tales of love, betrayal, honor, and revenge. Each poem transports readers to a world of enchantment and intrigue, populated by knights, maidens, witches, and other mythical creatures. Through his evocative language and keen storytelling, Landor captures the essence of Italian storytelling and folklore, while also infusing the poems with his own unique voice and perspective. "The Pentameron" stands as a testament to Landor's literary talent and his ability to evoke the timeless magic and mystery of the Italian landscape and imagination.

WHEN we read the Pentameron on its first appearance, now two years ago, it hardly seemed to require notice at our hands, as we had shortly before devoted a considerable space in this journal to Mr. Landor's writings generally, and in particular to the long series of his Imaginary Conversations. Taking up the volume, however, for the purpose of comparing some of its criticisms on Dante with Mr. Merivale's, we found that we could not lay it down until we had read it all over again, and by, that time we had marked so many passages, that though we have no intention of going into another formal criticism, we consider it as due to Mr. Landor that we should thank him for the pleasure his new dialogues have afforded us, and to our readers that we should invite their attention to some of the striking thoughts, images, and expressions scattered profusedly over a little work which has as yet attained only a very small circulation - nay which, we apprehend, might almost be said to have fallen still-born from the press.... -The Quarterly Review, Volume 64 [1839]
