Jerusalem Delivered
Riassunto
"Jerusalem Delivered" by Torquato Tasso is an epic poem first published in 1581. It reimagines the First Crusade as Christian knights, led by Godfrey of Bouillon, battle to capture Jerusalem from Muslim forces. The poem weaves historical figures with fictional characters in a tale of romantic entanglements, magical enchantments, and warriors torn between love and duty. Three Muslim women—including the warrior-maiden Clorinda and the sorceress Armida—become romantically involved with Christian knights, leading to betrayals, conversions, and tragic consequences amid the siege.
