Jerusalem delivered
Jerusalem delivered ( Gerusalemme liberata ) is a Poème epic writes in 1581 by the Cup, recalling an account largely fictionnalized of the First Crusade, during which the Christian knights carried out by Godefroy de Bouillon fight the Musulmans (Sarrasins) in order to raise the Siège of Jerusalem. The poem is composed of Stance S of eight lines, grouped in 20 songs variable length.
Work falls under the tradition of the tale of chivalry to the Renaissance, and of the Italian poems epic. The Cup frequently borrows elements of the intrigue and characters of the " Orlando furioso " Arioste. The poem also contains elements inspired of the tales epic of Homère and Virgile (in particular in the sections of their works describing the seats and the tactics of war).
The choice of the subject of the Cup -- a true historical conflict between Christians and Moslems (although largely powdered with fantastic elements) -- had a historical background, and created requirements in the narration (the subject could arrive only at the historical conclusion, and could not extend AD libitum , the conflict having been limited in time), absent from other contemporary accounts epic. However, like other works of the same time treating of conflicts between Christians and Moslems, the poem caused deep resonances in the spirit of the assistantship, the Turkish empire carrying out signification advances in Eastern Europe.
One of the features most characteristic of the poem of the Cup is the emotional torment endured by its characters, divided between their feelings and their duties, and their representation of the love in conflict with the martial values as the honor is a source of great lyric passion in the poem.
