Over the next several generations following the 1821 purchase numerous abridged, censored, ‘improved’, pirated, and poorly translated versions came on to the market. Some were little more than approximations of the original. The successful Laforgue version (1826-1838), based upon the original manuscript, was heavily censored and rewritten by Jean Laforgue, a French teacher employed by Brockhaus to edit the text prior to publishing.

The 1894 Arthur Machen translation for a long time remained the standard English version (although later re-edited and revised, notably by Arthur Symons, who recognised the problematic nature of the Laforgue edition upon which the Machen translation was based).

The boundaries between fact and fiction in the public arena can become notoriously ill-defined. Take the example of Sherlock Holmes. A 2011 poll with a sample size of 1,000 uncovered that 21% of people believed he was a real, historical figure. By a similar process but in reverse Casanova has become fictionalised.

'Orlando furioso' - canto34. 'Histoire de ma vie' was as much shaped by Casanova's literary and philosophical interests as it was an attempt to provide an historically accurate account of his life. French literary historian Marie-Francoise Luna has demonstrated that he modelled his autobiography on a sixteenth-century epic poem by the Italian poet Ludovico Ariosto called ‘The Frenzy of Orlando’.
