Petrarch the Poet (Routledge Revivals)Author :

Description
In this critical and historical interpretation of Petrarchs major Italian work, Peter Hainsworth presents Petrarch as a poet of outstanding sophistication and seriousness. In the Rerum vulgarium fragmenta Petrarch reformed the received Italian tradition, and found solutions to the intellectual, linguistic and imaginative problems which Dantes Divine Comedy posed for the succeeding generation of poets. Petrarch the Poet illumines the complexities of Petrarchs poetic vision, which is simultaneously a form of autobiographical narrative, a poetic encyclopaedia and a meditation on the nature of poetry. The book will appeal to Italian specialists, to those interested in European poetry of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
