Tasso and the Pastoral Drama
Biography of Italian poet and dramatist Torquato Tasso.
TASSO AND THE PASTORAL DRAMA This document was originally published in The Drama: Its History, Literature and Influence on Civilization, vol
Torquato Tasso and Giordano Bruno, though usually included among the authors of the later Renaissance, may perhaps be better classed with the moderns
In their day the spirit of the Renaissance was worn out, and was replaced by the nervous fear which is visible all through the life of Tasso
The life of Tasso is of itself enough to show under what a gloomy cloud literature had to work in Italy all through the later sixteenth century
He was born in 1544, the third son of Bernardo Tasso, who was secretary to the prince of Palermo, later becoming a dependent at the court of Urbino, where Torquato, who developed into a handsome and brilliant lad, became the companion in sports and studies of the heir to the dukedom
TASSO AT FERRARA But Torquato had resolved to be a poet, and as it was necessary to find a patron for him, he was introduced to the court of Ferrara
INSANITY When Tasso accompanied Cardinal Luigi d'Este to Paris he imagined that some treason was being plotted against him at home
Aminta
Summary and history of the most celebrated and influential pastoral drama of the
Renaissance.
Tasso is thought to have represented himself in the character of Thyrsis, and from his mouth we take his glowing, forceful and impressive description of his admission to court: I, with all this fine foreknowledge, went To the great city; and, by Heaven's kind will, Came where they live so happily

John Milton and Sventeenth Century Culture
Culture and history during the 1640s, and background on Milton in Italy.
Two of Milton's great heroes as modern epic poets were Italian, Ariosto and Tasso, and Milton's commonplace notebook includes reference to Ariosto's Orlando Furioso , and he quoted (in his own translation) from the poem in his own first prose work Of Reformation (1641)
Tasso's Gierusalemme Liberata , I Torquato Tasso, 1544-1595
La Giervsalemme liberata di Torqvato Tasso
In Naples, Milton found a more direct and personal link to his other Italian poetic hero, Tasso, through his contact with the now-elderly Manso, who had been Tasso's patron and to whom Tasso had addressed his Discourse on Friendship
Tasso's Gierusalemme Liberata, II Torquato Tasso Goffredo, overo Gierusalemme liberata, poema heroico del S.Torquato Tasso, nel quale sono state aggiunte molte stanze leuate, con le varie lettioni; & postiui gli argomenti, & allegorie a ciascun canto d'incerto auttore
In his The Reason of Church Government (1641), Milton would list Tasso with Homer, Virgil and the Book of Job among his models in epic poetry
Milton's epigraph from Tasso's Gierusalemme liberata in his tribute to Manso (published in his 1645 Poems ) was a graceful allusion to Manso's earlier patronage of Tasso as Milton sought similar patronage for himself
CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Peter Cornelius
Fresco painter and illustrator. (1783-1867)
The Prussian ambassador, Bartholdy, gave a commission to the German painters for the decoration of his house on Monte Pincio with frescoes from the Old-Testament story of Joseph; through Bartholdy's influence the same painters received an order from the Marchese Massimi to paint frescoes from the works of Ariosto, Tasso, and in his villa near the Lateran

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Luis Vaz de Camoes
Epic poet, born in 1524 or 1525; died 10 June, 1580.
There is, however, no need of depreciating Ariosto, or Tasso, or any others who have essayed the epic, in order to render to Camões his just deserts
Letteratura italiana by Luigi De Bellis
Note critiche sull'opera maggiore del poeta.
MOMIGLIANO Secondo il Momigliano, il poema del Tassoni gode di una fama eccessiva: alla felice invenzione del genere eroicomico e alle suggestive promesse dell'inizio segue uno svolgimento di maniera, ricavato dai modelli dell'Ariosto e del Tasso ridotti a dimensioni anguste da una tendenza al bozzetto e alla macchietta
Soltanto le Filippiche rivelano nel Tassoni uno scrittore e un uomo di autentico vigore e impegno
Alessandro Tassoni ebbe una fortuna ambigua
Come si spiega che il Tassoni, uomo di rispettabile statura soltanto in un'opera che gli fu contestata - Le Filippiche -, ingegno balzano e leggero, poeta di poco superiore ai burleschi del Sei e del Settecento, attiri su di sé tanta attenzione? Le ragioni sono estranee alla storia dell'arte
Il Tassoni si vantò fondatore d'una «nuova sorte di poesia mista d'eroico e comico, di faceto e grave»; e molti, riconoscendogli questo vanto di creatore d'un genere letterario, in certo modo si lasciarono imporre dalle sue stesse parole il criterio con cui giudicarlo, e gli attribuirono a gloria l'aver cominciato una pagina solennemente per finirla con una buffonata, l'aver mescolato a capriccio i due toni, e l'aver messo insieme fatti del Due e del Trecento

Toquato Tasso Biography of the dramatist.
Torquato Tasso (1544-1595) The greatest Italian poet of the late Renaissance, best remembered for his masterpiece LA GERUSALEMME LIBERATA ( Jerusalem Delivered, 1575)
In the 1570s Tasso developed a persecution mania which led to legends about the restless, half-mad, and misunderstood author
Tasso remained one of the most widely read poets by educated Europeas until the beginning of the 19th century
(from 'Quel labbro che le rose han colorito') Torquato Tasso was born in Sorrento
Tasso attended a Jesuit school in Naples, and was also educated at home by his father, Bernardo Tasso, himself a distinguished man of letters, a poet-courtier, who had been exiled from Naples and held posts here and there
Tasso continued his education in various Italian cities, notably in Urbino, where he studied at the court of Duke Guidobaldo II delle Rovere
One of Tasso's friends in Padua was Scipio Gorzaga, later a famous cadinal, whose help meant much to Tasso
For the Academy of the Ethereals Tasso wrote three essays on the heroic poem
Tasso had left his first love in Padua, but he then fell in love with Lucrezia Bendidio, a singer, whose father was a Ferrarese nobleman

Gabriele Macorini (GVCatullo@hotmail.com), Milano, 15/05/03 Ho letto questo romanzo: a molti non piace perché viene paragonato a "Se questo è un uomo" di Primo Levi, quando a questo romanzo non interessa tanto rappresentare una famiglia ebrea prima dell'Olocausto, quanto lasciarci un ricordo di quella Ferrare rinata durante il primo dopoguerra con i pittori metafisici (Carrà, De Chirico, Savinio), con Bassani e con lo studioso di Ariosto e Tasso, Lanfranco Carretti

Violet Books: Enjoying Heroic Fantasy
Personal essay by Jessica Amanda Salmonson.
Any heroic fantasy authors worth salt have read Tasso, Ariosto & Spenser & have incorporated into their own writing a veneer of claccisism
I was asked rhetorically, 'But how many readers have ever looked at Tasso outside of a Univeristy course?' I was taken aback, because I had previously assumed science fiction readers to be as obsessive as those of us enamored of heroic fantasy; that they had followed the cosmic escapades of Voltaire & de Bergerac as closely as they had Asimov, Heinlein & LeGuin
Because it came as quite a surprise to A-J, & to others since, that heroic fantasy readers are very often baited into the literature in depth; & I am not the least surprised when such fans prove capable of quoting Tasso or Spenser to me (usually the bloodiest episodes)
