	Torquato Tasso - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Torquato Tasso (March 11, 1544, Sorrento – April 25, 1595) was an Italian poet of the 16th century, best known for his poem La Gerusalemme liberata ("Jerusalem Delivered") (1580), in which he describes the imaginary combats between Christians and Muslims at the end of the First Crusade, during the siege of Jerusalem.
		Bernardo Tasso read cantos of his Amadigi to the duchess and her ladies, or discussed the merits of Homer and Virgil, Trissino and Ariosto, with the dukes librarians and secretaries.
		The truth seems to be that Tasso, after the beginning of 1575, became the victim of a mental malady, which, without amounting to actual insanity, rendered him fantastical and insupportable, a misery to himself and a cause of anxiety to his patrons.

		Born in Sorrento on the eleventh of March to Bernardo Tasso, himself a poet of some esteem and a member of the very minor nobility, Torquato was able to benefit from the education that was available to those of his station.
		Thus, Tasso enrolled at the University of Bologna in 1563, and after three years of study, became a courtier of Cardinal Luigi d’Este at Ferrara, under whose patronage, Tasso thrived in what could probably be called the happiest years of his life.
		Tasso, sensitive to this criticism, fell into an unhealthy state of depression and melancholy and was prone to fits of irritability and instability.

		The atmosphere was suitable for the composition of the "Gerusalemme liberata", on which Tasso continued to work after his return to the Court of Duke Alphonso II at Ferrara.
		When at length Tasso left the asylum and was received by the Gonsaga, he began about 1586 to revise his poem and after six years he transformed it into the "Gerusalemme conquistata", an inferior work.
		Finally, accepting the invitation of Cardinal Aldobrandini, Tasso went to Rome, where he died in the Convent of Sant' Onofrio, under the protection of the pope, the day before he was to be crowned as poet laureate.

	MSN Encarta - Multimedia - Torquato Tasso
		Considered the most important Italian poet of the late Renaissance, Torquato Tasso is best known for his epic poem on the First Crusade, Gerusalemme liberata (1581; Jerusalem Delivered, 1600).
		In this poem Tasso tried to reconcile the classical heroic epic with the rigid religious and historical guidelines of the time, demonstrating his innovative technique of incorporating fantastic and romantic elements into a more stringent format.
		The poem’s initially unfavorable reception, however, caused Tasso to extensively revise the poem and resulted in a markedly inferior version, Gerusalemme conquistata (The Conquest of Jerusalem; 1593).

		Tasso was particularly troubled about the reception of his works and the fate of his manuscripts, over which he lost control while confined.

	Jerusalem Delivered - Torquato Tasso (trans.: Edward Fairfax)
		Torquato Tasso's Jerusalem Delivered is one of the great Italian epics, an influential and immensely popular piece that was, eventually, easily eclipsed in reputation by Dante's earlier great work, the Divine Comedy.
		Tasso's epic tells the story of the First Crusade, leading to the sacking of Jerusalem in 1099.
		Tasso himself takes considerable liberties in his tale (so, for example, pushing up the battle between the Christians and the Egyptians several months, so that it all neatly coincided in one great Christian triumph in Jerusalem), as well as adding considerable fanciful invention, but it makes for a good story.

		At the age of twenty-one Tasso entered the service of the Este family of Ferrara, but his association with the house of Este was to be a tragic one.
		His main concern was not with thoughts or ideas but with images and words, which he chose with great care and precision primarily for their capacity to captivate the attention with the magic of their sounds.
		In this respect Tasso is the precursor of "pure" poetry, and many a poet of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries is considerably indebted to him.

		When Torquato Tasso's Gerusalemme Liberata first appeared in a pirated edition in 1579, it was hailed as a great, albeit slightly flawed, art epic in the tradition of Dante and Virgil.
		Tasso, himself, was angry that the poem had appeared in print without his permission, especially since the manuscript had received some harsh criticism from its first readers.
		The English poets, especially those writing in the 1650s-1680s, were heavily influenced by Tasso's skill as a poet and word-crafter.
