* Tasso and the Sisters ( 1825 ), a volume of poems, among which " The Nuptials of Juno " in particular showed rare gifts of imagination, though like all Wade's work deficient in sense of melody and feeling for artistic form

His poems were set more often by madrigal composers than the work of any other poet, even Tasso, who came in a close second ; the prolific madrigal composer Philippe de Monte even named one of his collections Il pastor fido after Guarini's most famous work.

While Guarini's work may be seen as lacking the deep feeling and sentiment of another poet at the Estensi court, Torquato Tasso, it was precisely this quality which commended it to musical setting at a time when excessive emotionalism had become unfashionable.

In this country those who still wrote epic poems, following the rules set by Torquato Tasso in his work Discorsi del poema eroico ( Discussions about the Epic Poems ) and realized in his masterwork, the Jerusalem Delivered, were felt as antiquated.

Metastasio wrote the libretto in 1751, basing it on a work by Torquato Tasso called Aminta.

Accolti wrote in Latin a history of the First Crusade, entitled De Bello a Christianis contra Barbaros gesto pro Christi Sepulchro et Judaea recuperandis libri IV ( 1464 ), or " On the War carried on by the Christians against the Barbarians, for the Recovery of Christ's Sepulchre, and of Judea ", which is said to have furnished Torquato Tasso with the historical basis for his Jerusalem Delivered.

Judging from the modern perspective, two approaches seem to dominate the contemporary appraisal of Gundulić's poetry: on one hand, his poetic influence has dimmed due to a change in aesthetic sensibility ( Gundulić's chief literary predecessor and influence, Torquato Tasso, has undergone similar reassessment, but his artistic integrity and individuality have withstood the test of time better ); while Gundulić's impact in the final standardisation of the Croatian language was overwhelming.

Given a counterfactual conditional, e. g., ' If there had been a circle on the blackboard then there would have been a triangle ', and the subsequent information ' in fact there was no triangle ', participants make the modus tollens inference ' there was no circle ' more often than they do from an indicative conditional ( Byrne and Tasso, 1999 ).

This story centered around the shepherd Céladon and his love, Astrée, and combined a frame tale device of shepherds and maidens meeting, telling stories and philosophizing on love ( a form derived from the ancient Greek novel " the Aethiopica " by Heliodorus of Emesa ) with a pastoral setting ( derived from the Spanish and Italian pastoral tradition from such writers as Jacopo Sannazaro, Jorge de Montemayor, Torquato Tasso and Giambattista Guarini ) of noble, idealized shepherds and maidens tending their flocks and falling in ( and out of ) love.
