Description: Biography of Italian poet and dramatist Torquato Tasso.
This document was originally published in The Drama: Its History, Literature and Influence on Civilization, vol. 5 . ed. Alfred Bates. London: Historical Publishing Company, 1906. pp. 1-7. Torquato Tasso and Giordano Bruno, though usually included among the authors of the later Renaissance, may perhaps be better classed with the moderns. In their day the spirit of the Renaissance was worn out, and was replaced by the nervous fear which is visible all through the life of Tasso. The church authorities were endeavoring to make Rome moral by methods which might have commended themselves to the English Puritans, and commendable as was this attempt to restrain the license of the earlier Renaissance, it was still an example of the attempt to repress which was being made everywhere in Italy, and which succeeded because it had only to deal with men of a weak generation.
