Publisher's Synopsis
"This book deals with "translation" from the verbal to the visual, has itself been the subject of many translations and revisions. Written in French, then translated and reworked by me for the Italian translation, it was translated into English by Theresa Davis, then revised by me with the collaboration of Kendra Walker, and finally revised and partly retranslated by Alexandra Hoare" ... I could not update the bibliography because the publications on Tasso's poems are so numerous that the book would have had to be completely rewritten. Instead i have reworded and corrected many passages in the hope of gaining clarity"--Acknowledgements page.
