This series offers public lectures which have been given by distinguished medieval and Renaissance scholars on topics and figures representative of these two important historical, religious, and intellectual periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nature and significance of Petrarch's indebtedness to Dante in the Rime sparse, Sara Sturm-Maddox argues, is revealed not only in the many individual poems or isolated echoes disclosed by recent studies. Here it is explored in a strategically placed sequence of poems, the well-known canzoni 125-127. In each of them we find the reinscription of elements drawn from the scene of Dante's encounter with Beatrice in the Earthly Paradise. Read together, these poems constitute a rewriting of the episode in the Purgatorio that affords insight into the nature of Petrarch's rivalry with his unacknowledged master. The contrasts that emerge between the scenes as written by Dante and by Petrarch, moreover, have far-reaching implications from the reading of the poet's story in the Rime sparse as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sara Sturm-Maddox\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1586840002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781586840006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Distribution Partners\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 33\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Sara Sturm-Maddox","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48453800001791,"sku":"9781586840006","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_785669f0-349e-4793-b697-eb02d207da61.jpg?v=1777302379","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dante-and-petrarch-sara-sturm-maddox-9781586840006","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
