"Torquato Tasso" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is a theatrical work written between 1786 and 1790. The play follows the Renaissance court poet Torquato Tasso as he struggles with inner turmoil while serving Duke Alfonso II d'Este. Amid a secret relationship with the Duke's sister Eleonora and mounting psychological distress, Tasso faces the painful contradiction of being a creative artist dependent on noble patrons he considers mediocre. His deteriorating mental state threatens
everything he has built at court. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
