Bernardo, Aldo S.

SUMMARY

"This book, by the renowned Petrarch scholar, remains an important basic study of the poetry, particularly of Laura. Bernardo discusses the major critics of Petrarch's Laura (DeSanctis, Croce), then devotes two chapters (26-87) to the figure of Laura in the Canzoniere and the Latin works. Seven chapters discuss the poetic image of Laura in the Triumphs, historically, critically, and contextually, the last focussing on Laura as nova figura, not allegory. It belongs in every library ad on every Petrarchist's shelf."Bernardo, Aldo S. is the author of 'Petrarch Laura and the Triumphs' with ISBN 9780873952897 and ISBN 0873952898.
