Description:Excerpt from La Gerusalemme Liberata Cantos I, II: With Introduction and Notes It was thought advisable to publish an Italian reading-book of a more elementary nature than the 'Selections from Dante.' I have for this purpose chosen a poet rather than a prose writer, because I am persuaded that poetry, in addition to other advantages, teaches, as no prose can, the real character of a language. Further, I have chosen Tasso not only for the historical interest of his poem, but on account of the simplicity and transparency of his style. I hope that the ignorant and foolish remark of Boileau about the 'tinsel' of Tasso - a remark that was caught up by Addison and has been the source of much self-satisfaction to those who have never read the Jerusalem - is now generally estimated at its true value, and will not afford an excuse to those who have an opportunity of forming their own opinion by the study of the original poem. The Notes are at first very full, and adapted to the use of beginners, but become more scanty in elementary information as the poem proceeds. The Remarks should be carefully studied, and used for reference. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
