Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... T > Torquato Tasso Torquato Tasso Italian poet, born at Sorrento near Naples in 1544; died at Rome , in 1595; son of Bernardo Tasso, who was also an author and of noble family , and of Porzia de Rossi . He enriched the Italian literature of the Renaissance with an epic glorifying the Crusades . The depth of his Catholic feeling accords well with the growing resistance to the Reformation developed at Rome in the latter half of the sixteenth century. Educated at the Court of the Dukes of Urbino and later at Venice and the University of Padua , and soon carried away by the whirl of frivolous society , he manifested great precocity, composing his poem "Rinaldo" before reaching the age of twenty. Already he had determined to celebrate in verse the prowess of Godfrey de Bouillon , and had composed the entire first canto. When he had settled at Ferrara in the suite of Cardinal Louis d'Este, he resumed the work. In 1570 he accompanied the cardinal on a voyage to France , and returned in time to hear at Rome the news of the victory of Lepanto . The atmosphere was suitable for the composition of the "Gerusalemme liberata", on which Tasso continued to work after his return to the

TASSO AND THE PASTORAL DRAMA This document was originally published in The Drama: Its History, Literature and Influence on Civilization, vol. 5 . ed. Alfred Bates. London: Historical Publishing Company, 1906. pp. 1-7. 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 church authorities were endeavoring to make Rome moral by methods which might have commended themselves to the English Puritans, and commendable as was this attempt to restrain the license of the earlier Renaissance, it was still an example of the attempt to repress which was being made everywhere in Italy, and which succeeded because it had only to deal with men of a weak generation. 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. It was a life of dependence dominated by fearfear of rivals, of accusations of heresy, and even of murder. 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. Here the boy read much, but nothing of the law, for which profession he was intended, and wrote his epic poem, the

Its hero was the leader of the first Crusade, Godfrey of Bouillon; the climax of the epic was the capture of the holy city. In the 1570s Tasso developed a persecution mania which led to legends about the restless, half-mad, and misunderstood author. He died a few days before he was due to be crowned as the king of poets by the Pope. Until the beginning of the 19th century, Tasso remained one of the most widely read poets in Europe.

AMINTA This document was originally published in The Drama: Its History, Literature and Influence on Civilization, vol. 5 . ed. Alfred Bates. London: Historical Publishing Company, 1906. pp. 7-10. Tasso 's beautiful pastoral drama or love-idyll, Aminta , is highly esteemed in Italy, and deserves to be better known in other languages. It was composed while he was still engaged on his great epic, whose splendor has thrown into the shade his minor works. Aminta belongs to the period of his happiness at the court of Ferara, then the most brilliant in Italy. It was intended especially for the entertainment of the great ladies who had graciously received him and befriended him. The duke's unmarried sisters, Leonora and Lucrezia d'Este, were his seniors by about ten years, had admitted the poet to their familiarity, and there is reason to believe that neither of them was indifferent to him personally. It is commonly reported that he had fallen in love with Leonora, and that the hopelessness of union with the object of his affection was the prime source of his subsequent insanity. While there is a plausibility in this report, it is more probable that his love was bestowed on Leonora Scandiano, a lady of the court. Aminta was first performed in 1573 before the duke Alphonso and his court, to the intense delight of that gay and cultured assembly. The duke's sister, Lucrezia, who had been married to the prince of Urbino, sent for the author to read it to her at Pesaro, and in the following spring it was performed with renewed applause at her court. The sensitive poet was as much enchanted with the rapturous favor of the audience at these exhibitions as they, in turn, were with the exquisite beauties and honeyed melodies of his pastoral drama. This skillful blending of poetry, music and dramatic art exactly suited the spirit of the age in which it appeared. It was at that very time that music was becoming the main art of Italy. Thenceforth the penetrating influence of this enchanting composition was felt in opera and cantata for more than two centuries, and throughout Europe.
