Italian poet Francesco Petrarca, widely regarded as one of the founding figures of the modern Italian language, is the subject of this comprehensive biography. It presents the first comprehensive English-language account of Petrarch's life and work in over three decades, exploring how his reputation and identity have evolved over the centuries. The book delves into Petrarch's unrequited love for his poetic muse, Laura, his university years, his anti-institutional stance, and his self-absorption.
