Jerusalem Delivered a Poem

Torquato Tasso's epic poem tells the story of the First Crusade, with a cast of characters including crusaders, Saracens, wizards and demons. Tasso's work is also a love story, with the knight Tancredi striving to win the heart of the bewitching Clorinda, even as his fellow knights battle to retake the Holy City. Beautifully written and full of romance, heroism and magic, Jerusalem Delivered is a must-read for fans of epic poetry and medieval history.
