Francesco Petrarch is also the Renaissance artist and humanist par excellence. Petrarchism is termed the longest poetic tradition in the Occident, and Petrarch has influenced poets such as Maurice Sc ve, Sir Thomas Wyatt, Torquato Tasso, Edmund Spenser, Michael Drayton, Joachim Du Bellay, Pierre de Ronsard, Rainer Maria Rilke and Robert Graves, among hundreds of others. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Petrarch's Canzoniere, often also known as the Rime Sparse, lies at the heart of his achievement: it comprises 366 poems about love, written in Italian and worked on right up until Petrarch's death in 1374. In the Canzoniere, there are hundreds of sonnets, 29 canzoni, 7 ballate, 9 sestine and 4 madrigali. Petrarch's other major works included Secretum, Triumphs, Africa, De Vita Solitaria, verse epistles, biographies, allegorical ecologues and hundreds of letters. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The translations into English in this book are from a variety of authors, including George MacDonald. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Includes a note on Francesco Petrarch, a bibliography, and a gallery of pictures. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e 660 pages. www.crmoon.com\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Francesco Petrarch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1861715994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781861715999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Crescent Moon Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/30\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 660\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.33d","brand":"Francesco Petrarch","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939040493823,"sku":"9781861715999","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_391c4375-421b-4135-a672-60697a069d09.jpg?v=1681439142","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/canzoniere-francesco-petrarch-9781861715999","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
