Aminta was written by in 1573, represented during a garden party at the court of Ferrara. Both the actors and the public were noble persons living at the Court, who could understand subtle allusions the poet made to that style of life, in contrast with the life of shepherds, represented in an idyllic way.
First published in 1580
Together with Guarini's 'Il pastor fido' and Bonarelli's 'Filli di Sciro', Tasso's 'Aminta' is considered one of the masterpieces of the genre of the pastoral drama - Permalink:
