This tranlation of Torquato Tasso's ll re Torrismondo, the first to
be made directly from the Italian into English, is intended to help
those students and scholars who do not command the language of the
original text. This translation provides readers with a wider range
of the Italian tragedy as a genre; it also allows readers to
acquire a deeper awareness of the entire spectrum of the Italian
Renaissance in its final brilliance. Tasso's King Torrismondo
provides an example of Neo-Aristotelian dramatic theory of the
second half of the fifteenth century. It incorporates into the
dramatic genre elements of the epic lyric poem. Tasso's langugae
can also be studied as an example of "imitation" of Virgil, Dante,
Petrach, and Tasso's own epic. Finally, Tasso's Torrismondo affords
us an opportunity of comparative analysis of French, English, and
Spanish literature in the development of tragedy as a European
genre.
