Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book by a prominent scholar introduces readers to Petrarch, an acclaimed writer and humanist whose work marked a pivotal shift in literary thought. The author traces Petrarch's life, showing how he rejected the dominant legal profession of his day in order to pursue a passion for the classics. The author argues that Petrarch's prioritization of humanities disciplines over the sciences was a forerunner of the Italian Renaissance. Through extensive examination of Petrarch's letters and writings, the book illuminates his deep engagement with ancient Greek and Roman authors, his patriotic fervor for all things Italian, and his profound Christian faith. The author demonstrates that Petrarch's contributions to literature, scholarship, and Italian identity cannot be overstated.
