Tasso, Torquato Jerusalem Delivered: Gerusalemme Liberata
Baltimore Johns Hopkins University Pre August 1, 2000 0-8018-6323-6 / 9780801863233 Trade Paperbac Near Fine /No DJ as Issued
Published in 1581, Tasso's (1544-95) verse epic on the 11th-century First C rusade and the love of Tancred and Clorinda is one the masterpieces of Ital ian literature. Esolen (English, Providence Coll.), a translator of Lucreti us's On the Nature of Things, here provides a solid verse translation. Desp ite its importance, Jerusalem Delivered has enjoyed only one significant re ndition in English that is still in print: Edward Fairfax's 1600 Spenserian version. Esolen observes the basic shape, rhythm, and rhetorical movement of the original ottava rima but never sacrifices poetry or meaning to rigid form. The result is both highly readable and truer to the spirit of Tasso than Fairfax's rendition. Esolen also provides a valuable introduction, an essay on Tasso's allegory, a glossary of characters, and helpful textual no tes to identify allusions.
