Petrarchan love and the Continental Renaissance
by Gordon Braden
"The 366 lyrics of Petrarch's Canzoniere exert a unique influence in literary history. From the mid-fifteenth century to the early seventeenth, the poems are imitated in every major language of western Europe, and for a time they provide Renaissance Europe with an almost exclusive sense of what love poetry should be.
In this look at the international phenomenon of Petrarch's poetry, Gordon Braden focuses on materials in languages other than English - Italian, French, and Spanish, with brief citations from Croatian and Cypriot Greek, among others. Braden closely examines Petrarch's theme of love for an impossible object of desire, a theme that captivated and inspired across centuries, societies, and languages."--BOOK JACKET.
