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.
