Jerusalem Delivered

“Anthony Esolen's translation captures the delight of Tasso's descriptions, the different voices of its cast of characters, the shadings between glory and tragedy―and it does all this in English verse as powerful and clear as Tasso's Italian. Tasso's masterpiece finally emerges as an English masterpiece.”
