The Icy Fire: Five Studies in European Petrarchism
Leonard Forster
In this short introductory book, Professor Forster examines Petrarchism as a European phenomenon transcending national boundaries. Beginning by surveying its conventions, he moves on to discuss how Petrarchism provided a renewal of poetic diction for vernacular literature. He also discusses how the tradition can accommodate realism in love-relationships and serve political ends.
