About This Book

A series of essays examines Petrarchism and its opposition in sixteenth-century Italian literary culture, describing how imitation, praise, and reaction influenced lyric practice. The analysis links those tendencies to broader Renaissance tastes and institutions, distinguishes different modes and degrees of imitation among poets and intellectuals, and considers how temperament, social position, and artistic aims produced varied poetic responses.
