Abstract

Petrarch (Francesco Petrarca, 1304–74), best known for his influential collection of Italian lyric poetry dedicated to his beloved Laura, was also a remarkable classical scholar, a deeply religious thinker and a philosopher of secular ethics. In this wide-ranging study, chapters by leading scholars view Petrarch's life through his works, from the epic Africa to the Letter to Posterity, from the Canzoniere to the vernacular epic Triumphi. Petrarch is revealed as the heir to the converging influences of classical cultural and medieval Christianity, but also to his great vernacular precursor, Dante, and his friend, collaborator and sly critic, Boccaccio. Particular attention is given to Petrach's profound influence on the Humanist movement and on the courtly cult of vernacular love poetry, while raising important questions as to the validity of the distinction between medieval and modern and what is lost in attempting to classify this elusive figure.

Abstract

Petrarch was one of the founding fathers of Renaissance humanism, yet the nature and significance of his ideas are still widely debated. In this book, Gur Zak examines two central issues in Petrarch's works - his humanist philosophy and his concept of the self. Zak argues that both are defined by Petrarch's idea of care for the self. Overcome by a strong sense of fragmentation, Petrarch turned to the ancient idea that philosophy can bring harmony and wholeness to the soul through the use of spiritual exercises in the form of writing. Examining his vernacular poetry and his Latin works from both literary and historical perspectives, Zak explores Petrarch's attempts to use writing as a spiritual exercise, how his spiritual techniques absorbed and transformed ancient and medieval traditions of writing, and the tensions that arose from his efforts to care for the self through writing.

Abstract

La bibliothèque de Pétrarque ne se réduit pas aux manuscrits-pourtant nombreux-qui ont appartenu au grand poète et humaniste toscan du XIVe siècle. Idéalement, elle englobe tous les auteurs qu'il a lus et médités-qu'il se réclame ouvertement d'eux ou qu'il passe leur nom sous silence-et s'étend même aux écrivains et aux artistes qui, aux siècles suivants, l'ont lu et se sont inspirés de lui. C'est à cette bibliothèque idéale de Pétrarque que le présent receuil est consacré. Il rassemble dix-sept études portant sur quelques-uns des grands auteurs qui la constituent, depuis Horace, Tite-Live, Pomponius Mela, saint Jérôme, Claudien ou Macrobe jusqu'à Machiavel ou Maerten van Heemskerck en passant par saint Bernard, Jean de Salisbury, Guillaume de Lorris ou Dante. Ces études ont été écrites par les chercheurs de nationalités diverses-jeunes ou confirmés-qui se sont réunis du 27 au 29 novembre 2003 à Tours, au Centre d'Études Supérieures de la Renaissance, pour célébrer le septième centenaire de la naissance de Pétrarque (1304). Le Centre d'Études Supérieures de la Renaissance a en effet pour vocation d'étudier une Renaissance qui va. Il se devait donc de prendre toute sa part dans les diverses manifestations internationales qui ont marqué cet anniversaire.

Abstract

Moving from a definition of the lyric to the innovations introduced by Petrarch's poetic language, this study goes on to propose a new reading of several French poets (Charles d'Orléans, Ronsard, and Du Bellay), and a re-evaluation of Montaigne's understanding of the most striking poetry and its relation to his own prose. Instead of relying on conventional notions of Renaissance subjectivity, it locates recurring features of this poetic language that express a turn to the singular and that herald lyric poetry's modern emphasis on the utterly particular. By combining close textual analysis with more modern ethical concerns this study establishes clear distinctions between what poets do and what rhetoric and poetics say they do. It shows how the tradition of rhetorical commentary is insufficient in accounting for this startling effectiveness of lyric poetry, manifest in Petrarch's Rime Sparse and the collections of the best poets writing after him.
