First published in 1763, John Hoole's (172 7-1803) translation of Tasso was greatly admired by Samuel Johnson, with whom he was on intimate terms, and from whom he received a portion of his library upon his death. Hoole translated other of the Italian classics, including the "Orlando Furioso " of Ariosto (1773-83), and Tasso's "Rinaldo" (1792). He also wrote verse which, though fluent and accomplished, lacked great merit, and is now forgotten.
