ENGL 90116 - Petrarch: The Soul's Fragments

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

English

Description:

Crosslisted with ROIT 527. Before taking up the Canzoniere we'll consider the life of Petrarch, his intellectual activity and his other works, including selections from his epistolary collections (Letters on Familiar Matters and Letters of Old Age) and other Latin works, especially the Secretum (Petrarch's Secret). Our reading of the Canzoniere will utilize Santagata's recent edition and commentary and will engage critically a variety of hermeneutical and philological approaches to the book. The seminar will be conducted in English but reading knowledge of Italian is essential.
