Torquato Tasso

Torquato Tasso was an Italian Renaissance poet whose Jerusalem Delivered (Gerusalemme Liberata, 1581) — narrating the First Crusade in ottava rima of extraordinary lyric beauty — is the supreme Italian Renaissance epic. The love story between the knight Tancredi and the Saracen warrior Clorinda is one of the most affecting episodes in Italian literature. Tasso spent seven years confined to a mental asylum at Ferrara — apparently at the order of the Este family, possibly for political reasons — and died days before he was to receive the laurel crown in Rome.
