Tasso Turning Biography

Javelov A. The son of the poet Bernardo Tasso, see Naples, then in Rome. At the court of the Duke of Urbinsky, where he lived with his father C, T. But his father’s insufficiency, two years later, carried away T. here he entered the Paduan University and began, according to his father’s desire, to engage in legal sciences. He went to the verbal department. Here he began to write sonnets and Madrigaly and already at the end he printed his first poem “Rinaldo”, with the approval of his father, singing the exploits of the Paladin Carolingian cycle Renault de Montoban.

The poem had no success. The Rinaldo was followed by a new poem - Jerusalem. The laurels of Ariosto resolutely did not allow T. his education T. with him, he settled in Ferrara with him. The Cardinal service was unrelenting. For this society, T. She was presented for the first time in the summer of its lyrical part is completely devoid of the cheerfulness that was full of “Orpheus”.

Behind the simplicity of its form, a lot of subtle sophistication is hidden, only the verse flows relaxed and diverse, full of inexhaustible musicality.

But the "amin" was for T. Youth sketches were reviewed, redone, the plot was partially changed. In the spring, the poem was over. He was always full of indecision, and at that moment, after a huge nervous tension, he demanded increased labor, his indecision turned into heavy imagination. He was frightened by the thought that in his new work he violated some kind of literary canons, and also profanated the religious plot with sensual episodes and reminiscences of pagan classics.

Italy experienced a period of feudal-Catholic reaction, and the inquisitors were angry, more than ever. Their reviews forced him to decide to revise the poem. However, he did not have time to do anything. Soul illness crept up to him and gradually knocked him out of balance. He left Ferrara in him, wandered around the country, in April returned to the court of Alfonso.

After some time, he was again drawn to a vague life. He got there on the days when the duke’s wedding was celebrated and the greatest turmoil reigned. For words directed against the duke, his young wife, ducal sisters and all courtiers, T. Anna, where violent crazy were placed. In the hospital of St. Anna T. Disease, especially the first time, caused him great torment, both physical and moral: his correspondence she was allowed to contain their detailed description.

A year later, he gradually takes the pen, writes not only letters, but reasoning and poems. While T. all these pirate publications were, of course, made in haste, are full of errors and inaccuracies, etc. He allowed one of his friends to prepare the author’s publication, looked it and left him the title of indulgii. This genuine “Liberated Jerusalem” came out in the content of the poem are the events of the last year of the first crusade: the siege and capture of Jerusalem by the Crusaders.

It appears in the actual participants in the campaign: the head of the Christian army Gottfried Boulon, Raymond Toulouse, the Normansky Tancred, and the leaders of Muslims. Endless battles with varying happiness occur; Tancred falls in love with the beautiful Muslim warrior Clindus, Rinaldo kidnaps the even more beautiful sorceress Armida, and the young knight lives in a whirlwind of pleasure in her gardens, Christians die, Muslims are dying, until, finally, the resistance of the “infidels” is broken and Gottfried Bulonsky joins Jerusalim.

Knights and his religious ideals, which were depicted in the boyardo without any pieta, and in Ariosto with subtle irony, in T. But Renaissance avenged the feudal-Catholic reaction. It was impossible T. The ingenious poem turned out to be internally split, like the psyche of its creator. But her incomparable neither - with which poetic beauties, despite all this, were such that “liberated Jerusalem” turned out to be the most popular work of the entire Italian literature.

Moreover, the poem became-and soon-truly folk: a fisherman in the mouths of the software and brands, the gondolier of Venice, the peasant in Friul still sing the Torquatov Octava. A lot wrote T. nothing in them rises above the total level of literature of this kind, so popular in the barren times of the late Chinquecento. The most vivid samples of the correspondence of T.

Anna ended somewhat better in the summer to the poet became so better that Alfonso agreed to let him go into the mantle at the request of the Crown Duke Vincenzo Gonzago. But in a year, a complete mental balance, he fled from Mantua to Rome in a year and finally got the opportunity, thanks to the patronage - - the papal nephews of Alstorandini, to live more or less calmly his last years.

Dad was going to arrange T. however, it was already difficult to catch the moment for this: in this he was continuous painful excitement. Traces of this state are all things written by him during these years. The tragedy "Torrismund" Il Torrismundo, for which he took advantage of the youthful sketches of another play, a little better than other tragedies of the late Chinquecento.Alteration of the “Liberated Jerusalem” into “conquered Jerusalem” La Gerusalemme Conquista, which had the goal of clearing it from pagan elements and strengthening the religious element in it, clearly ruined the ingenious work, and the poem “Creeding World” Il Mondo Creato, who singed the Old Testament legend of The creation of the world and man represents a lifeless mixture of biblical motives, theological and philosophical reasoning, astronomical and physical speculations.

The poet clearly survived himself, and for him was a relief when he was placed in the monastery of St. Onufria, where he died on April 25 An illustration: Barbier.
