"In our time, when the future of the Holy City is contested once again, and sectarian conflicts are on the rise, and a Tridentine spirit, a fear of internal dissent, has returned to the Roman church, Tasso's magniloquent epic still has something to say."
David Quint, New Republic, 10/02/2000
Review:"Esolen's work...comes at a good time. It rarely seems labored, and yet it works hard to do its duty by its original...[I]t leaves no doubt that Tasso should be read...[F]or those who haven't read Tasso, this is the best way to read him in English at the moment. Do it."
Colin Burrow, London Review of Books, 02/22/2001

Book Description: JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY PRESS, United States, 2000. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 254 x 159 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Late in the eleventh century the First Crusade culminated in the conquest of Jerusalem by Christian armies. Five centuries later, when Torquato Tasso began to search for a subject worthy of an epic, Jerusalem was governed by a sultan, Europe was in the crisis of religious division, and the Crusades were a nostalgic memory. Tasso turned to the First Crusade both as a subject that would test his poetic ambition and as a reflection on the quandaries of his own time. He sought to create a masterpiece that would deserve comparison with the great epics of the past. Gerusalemme liberata became one of the most widely read and cherished books of the Renaissance. First published in 1581, it was translated into English by Edward Fairfax in 1600. That translation has been the standard, even though Fairfax was only a good, not a great, poet. Fairfax tried to fit Tasso's verse into Spenserian stanzas, adding to and subtracting from the original and often changing Tasso's meaning.Anthony Esolen's new translation captures the delight of Tasso's descriptions, the different voices of its cast of characters, the shadings between glory and tragedy-and it does all this in an English as powerful and clear as Tasso's Italian. Tasso's masterpiece finally emerges as an English masterpiece. Bookseller Inventory # AAH9780801863233 Bookseller & Payment Information | More Books from this Seller | Ask Bookseller a Question |
