Torquato Tasso by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"Torquato Tasso" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is a theatrical work written between 1786 and 1790. The play follows the court poet Torquato Tasso in the final decades of the sixteenth century as he struggles with inner turmoil and his position in society. While serving at Duke Alfonso II d'Este's court and maintaining a secret relationship with the duke's sister Eleonora, Tasso grapples with his role as a courtier serving nobles he
considers mediocre. His mounting psychological distress ultimately shatters his dreams and leads to devastating consequences. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
