520 1 "In The Liberation of Jerusalem (Gerusalemme liberata,
1581), Torquato Tasso set out to write an epic to rival
the Iliad and the Aeneid. Unlike his predecessors, he took
his subject not from myth but from history: the Christian
capture of Jerusalem during the First Crusade. The siege
of the city is played out a longside a magical romance of
love and sacrifice, in which the Christian knight Rinaldo
succumbs to the charms of the pagan sorceress Armida, and
the warrior maiden Clorinda inspires a fatal passion in
the Christian Tancred." "Tasso's masterpiece left its mark
on writers from Spenser and Milton to Goethe and Byron,
and inspired countless painters and composers. This is the
first English translation in modern times that faithfully
reflects both the sense and the verse form of the
original. Max Wickert's fine rendering is introduced by
Mark Davie, who places Tasso's poem in the context of his
life and times and points to the qualities that have
ensured its lasting impact on Western culture."--Jacket.
