Set against the tumultuous backdrop of the First Crusade, Jerusalem Delivered weaves a captivating narrative filled with political intrigues, military confrontations, and complex love stories, all intertwined with the nuances of differing faiths. The supernatural elements play a significant role in the unfolding drama. Despite facing substantial criticism upon its release, Tasso undertook a major revision, ultimately renaming his work La Gerusalemme Conquistata or Jerusalem Conquered, which has sadly remained largely overlooked—a cautionary tale for writers who heed their critics too closely. Tassos original poem left a lasting impact on literary giants like Edmund Spenser, whose unfinished epic The Faerie Queene expands even further on Tasso’s themes, presenting a labyrinthine narrative enriched by allegorical elements. Miltons Paradise Lost also draws inspiration from Tasso, particularly in its depiction of the council in hell, echoing Tassos own scene in Book IV. Miltons choice to write in English, rather than the Latin of his time, was influenced by his encounter with Tassos patron, Giovanni Battista Manso, who encouraged both poets to elevate their native languages through their talents. If Petrarch had received such guidance from Manso, his epic The Africa might have overshadowed his more casual sonnets about Laura.
