Rhymes of Love
Central Connecticut State University
Central Professor of Modern Languages Maria Passaro elegantly undertakes the delicate task of transforming the timeless Renaissance poetry of Torquato Tasso into the English language. Each love poem is written first in Italian, followed side-by-side to its best fitting English representation. This 214 page paperback is the first ever complete English rendition of Tasso’s work. Passaro and Tasso come together from two different centuries to enlighten the world on true Italian love poetry. A new generation is now able to delve into the mind, life and apprenticeship of one of Italy’s most renowned writers.
