Shakespeare and Tasso: The forms of passion and suffering.
Malago, Rossella.

Shakespeare and Tasso: The forms of passion and suffering. - 196 p.

Director: Patrick Cheney.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Pennsylvania State University, 2001.

This study compares representations of passion and suffering in two early modern authors of poems and plays not often examined together: Shakespeare and Tasso. By comparing Shakespeare's Sonnets with Tasso's Rime, Venus and Adonis with Gerusalemme Liberata, Hamlet, King Lear, Othello, and The Winter's Tale with Il Re Torrismondo, the study demonstrates that some traits considered as characteristic of Shakespeare's genius and originality, such as the investigation of subjectivity and the creation of characters with a consciousness, are not inventions ex novo. Rather, they reflect the emergence in the cultural context of the late Renaissance of a new sensibility toward inner life and fulfill, in particular, certain features present in potentia in Tasso.

520 $a This study compares representations of passion and suffering in two early modern authors of poems and plays not often examined together: Shakespeare and Tasso. By comparing Shakespeare's Sonnets with Tasso's Rime, Venus and Adonis with Gerusalemme Liberata, Hamlet, King Lear, Othello, and The Winter's Tale with Il Re Torrismondo, the study demonstrates that some traits considered as characteristic of Shakespeare's genius and originality, such as the investigation of subjectivity and the creation of characters with a consciousness, are not inventions ex novo. Rather, they reflect the emergence in the cultural context of the late Renaissance of a new sensibility toward inner life and fulfill, in particular, certain features present in potentia in Tasso.
520 $a The works considered represent Tasso's and Shakespeare's shared career model as sixteenth-century "poet-playwrights" and reflect the correspondence between their two canons in the composition of pastoral, lyric poetry, epic, and drama. The different comparisons reveal compelling analogies and sometimes evidence of a direct connection. In general, this study supports the thesis that Shakespeare knew Tasso and was inspired by his works.
520 $a The question of a possible relation between Shakespeare and Tasso suggests a review of the position traditionally attributed to Shakespeare in Western cultural history, and specifically locates him in a more international context. By emphasizing Tasso's and Shakespeare's shared concepts of passion and suffering as moments of transition from the traditional notion of passio as a perturbation of the body and the soul to a modern perception of passion and emotion as expressions of subjectivity, this study contributes to the ongoing critical conversation on subject and object, body and mind, in recent criticism. Finally, for its attention to questions of gender roles and gender relationships, the research offers a contribution to gender and women's studies.
520 $a The critical approach herein applied combines the various perspectives of new historicism, feminism, and psychoanalysis; the method of investigation strives to evaluate in equal measure individual genius and originality, on the one hand, and tradition, culture, and ideology, on the other. Methodological principles such as intertextuality and "fulfillment," intended as transmission of modes of thought and forms of expression, constitute the bases of the research, showing how some of Shakespeare's brilliant representations of passion and suffering may be read as an original re-elaboration of Tassoesque "formulas of pathos."
