Description
The ‘Canzoniere’, a sequence of sonnets and other verse forms, were written over a period of about 40 years. They describe Petrarch’s intense love for Laura, whom he first met in Avignon in 1327, and her effect on him after she died in 1348. The collection is an examination of the poet’s growing spiritual crisis, and also explores important contemporary issues such as the role of the papacy and religion.

About The Author | Francesco Petrarch (1304-1374), scholar and man of letters, is considered the father of sonnet-writing. Although the majority of his work was composed in Latin, it is his collection of poems in the vernacular entitled 'Canzoniere' for which he is most remembered. Anthony Mortimer holds the Chair of English Literature at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland, and has been a Visiting Fellow at Merton College, Oxford. Publications include 'Petrarch's Canzoniere in the English Renaissance' |
