"A dramatic monologue by Byron, published in 1817. It is based on the legend of Tasso's tragic love for Leonora d'Este: the narrator describes his imprisonment in a mad-house in Ferrara, and asserts his own enduring fame, which will outlive that of the city which has incarcerated him" -- Concise Oxford Companion to English Literature.
