 Jerusalem Delivered - Torquato Tasso (trans.: Edward Fairfax)
Fairfax remains true to the story, but his language is much more sprightly (and the effect more dramatic -- or at least melodramatic) than in Tasso's original.
Fairfax's imprint was a strong and enduring one, and the reception of Tasso in the English-speaking world has been almost entirely through this rose-coloured version.
Fairfax's command of the language is not first-rate, but he proceeds with astonishing confidence (or reckless abandon, some might say), and on the whole the result is impressive and often enthralling.

Numerous translations have appeared in English, most notably Edward Fairfax's in 1600 (see our review -- or read it online), but in recent years it has been difficult to find any translation in English.
Certainly, there is little of the reckless (and often exhilarating) abandon of Fairfax's translation, but on the whole Esolen's restraint is probably both prudent and laudatory.
Nevertheless, Fairfax was a true poet and his text is consistently more effective (if often also considerably more arduous) than Esolen's.
