"Wickert's is a remarkable achievement... the translation is consistently faithful to almost every detail of the content."--Times Literary Supplement"I highly recommend this spirited and readable verse-stanza translation that brings Tasso's inimitable range into modern English."--Charles Stanley Ross, Purdue University; translator of Boiardo's Orlando Innamorato"Wickert has succeeded in capturing both the intricate rhymes and subtle rhythms of Tasso's Italian ottave in this finely wrought and stately version of the Gerusalemme Liberata. Bravo!"--Christopher Kleinhenz, University of Wisconsin; co-translator of Dante's Il Fiore"Max Wickert's fine translation captures both the dignity and the energy of Tasso's epic, its artfulness and its passion. It's an impressive achievement."--Carl Dennis, Pulitzer Prize for Poetry 2002"I would have guessed from Max Wickert's sonnets that his handling of ottava rima would be strong and fluent. As indeed it is. I can't imagine a translation reading any better: everywhere easy, natural, idiomatic, taking the demanding rhyme scheme with no strain at all.

Synopsis
Tasso's epic poem concerns the capture of Jerusalem by the Crusaders in 1099, and combines the theme of war with romantic and magical tales of love between pagan and Christian. This is the first modern translation that faithfully reflects the sense and verse form of Tasso's hugely infuential masterpiece., In The Liberation of Jerusalem (1581), Torquato Tasso set out to write an epic to rival the Iliad and the Aeneid . Unlike his predecessors, he took his subject not from myth but from history: the Christian capture of Jerusalem during the First Crusade. The siege of the city is played out alongside a magical romance of love and sacrifice, in which the Christian knight Rinaldo succumbs to the charms of the pagan sorceress Armida, and the warrior maiden Clorinda inspires a fatal passion in the Christian Tancred. Tasso's masterpiece left its mark on writers from Spenser and Milton to Goethe and Byron, and inspired countless painters and composers. This is the first English translation in modern times that faithfully reflects both the sense and the verse form of the original. Max Wickert's fine rendering is introduced by Mark Davie, who places Tasso's poem in it troubled historical context and sheds light on its narrative framework and historical accuracy as well as its reception and influence. About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more., 'The bitter tragedy of human life-- horrors of death, attack, retreat, advance, and the great game of Destiny and Chance.
