Petrarch And Dante
Since the beginnings of Italian vernacular literature, the nature of the relationship between Francesco Petrarch (1304-1374) and his predecessor Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) has remained a fascinating question of both literary and cultural history. This title explores the emergence of an anti-Dantean polemic in Petrarch's work.
