Jerusalem liberated - Gerusalemme liberata

Japanese: 解放されたエルサレム - かいほうされたえるされむ(英語表記)Gerusalemme liberata
Jerusalem liberated - Gerusalemme liberata
A representative long epic poem by Italian poet Tasso. It is in the form of eight-line rhyming poems of 11 syllables, and consists of 20 songs and 1,917 stanzas. Set against the backdrop of the Counter-Reformation and the victory of Christian countries at the Battle of Lepanto, it is based on the First Crusade and was completed in 1575 after more than a decade of planning. The story is constructed based on the traditions of heroic epic and chivalric literature from Virgil to Ariosto, and unfolds in a tangle of historical facts about the Crusades, centered on the battles leading up to the liberation of Jerusalem, and fantastical fiction mixed with legends. The underlying theme is the tragic death of the hero and the failure of a fateful love, from which we can see the essence of Tasso's unique, dark poetic world, in which the protagonist eventually descends into madness.

Japanese:
イタリアの詩人タッソの代表的長編叙事詩。11音節8行韻詩の形式をとり,全20歌1917連から成る。反宗教改革,レパントの海戦でのキリスト教国側の勝利を時代的背景に,第1回十字軍を素材とし,十数年の構想を経て,1575年に完成した。物語はウェルギリウスからアリオストに至る英雄叙事詩および騎士道文学の伝統をふまえて構築されており,エルサレム解放までの戦闘を中心とした十字軍の史実と,伝説を交えた幻想的な虚構性とが錯綜しながら展開されてゆくが,その基調をなすものは英雄の悲劇的な死であり,宿命的な愛の不成立であって,そこに,やがて狂気に落ちていくタッソ独自の,暗鬱な詩的世界の本質がうかがえる。
