Location: Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland
Petrarch's body of writing in Latin and the vernacular provided early modern readers with a powerful model of subjectivity defined in terms of desire and loss, as well as an apparently more distanced mode of intellectual scrutiny that would become characteristic of the humanist historian, antiquarian and philologist. Cultural producersartists, composers, and their critical commentatorshave drawn equally from both sides of the Petrarchan model. They have done this not only through musical settings of his texts, compositions inspired by them, or artistic inventions that draw upon his work, but also because Petrarch's confrontation of a thematics of personal loss with that of the potential surrogacy of art enabled an understanding of the artistic enterprise in self-reflexive terms, a characteristic that has particularly accompanied the resonance of Petrarch's authorial voice across several centuries and national traditions.

Petrarch and the Philosophy of Passion
Thursday, April 29 – Saturday, May 1, 2004
UCLA Francesco Petrarca (1304-74) was the most celebrated writer of his day, and his influence on Western thought and literature has been immense and enduring. The first English writer to know his work well was Chaucer, a contemporary. Later, with Surrey , Wyatt, Spenser and other masters of the English lyric, Petrarch moved deeper into the mainstream of English letters. Shakespeare’s sonnets, for example, would never have emerged without the sonetti and canzoni Just as fundamental was his influence on the French Pléiade , on Spanish and Portuguese poetry through the seventeenth century, and, of course, on Italian poetry from Petrarch's own time to the present. Moreover, Petrarch has long been called the founder of Renaissance humanism, showing the way to a monumental revival of antiquity and refocusing attention on philology and history. He also inaugurated the early modern development of moral philosophy. In the Secret and other works, he laid the foundation for the great literature of introspection and moral self-scrutiny that runs from Leonardo

HOME Articles Book Reviews Features ARTICLES: HOUSE OF SOLITUDE
The Life of Solitude
The reputation of Francesco Petrarca (1304-1374) or Petrarch rests on his lyric poetry in the great transition from Latin to vernacular that characterized the Italian Renaissance. So it may be surprising to discover that Petrarch also wrote De Vita Solitaria ("On the Life of Solitude" or "On the Solitary Life"). This long essay marshals forth ancient and medieval authorities recommending retirement from the world. What is noteworthy in this work is that Petrarch justifies a secular and humanist viewpoint in addressing the topic of active versus contemplative life, up to this point a theme dominated by religious authors. For all that, De Vita Solitaria had little impact on contemporaries. Petrarch composed the work in 1346 but took twenty years to deliver it to the bishop of Cavaillon to whom it was dedicated. After favorable but modest circulation, the treatise was printed a few times but not widely translated, and thereafter largely ignored. The De Vita Solitaria De Vita Solitaria is to celebrate the beauty of a life of leisure, retired from crowded haunts and importunate cares and devoted to the enjoyment of reading, of literary creation, peaceful brooding, and the society of a few chosen friends. There is more in this attitude of Horace and Epicurus than of the moralist or Christian mystic.

Petrarch ) was an Italian scholar, poet , and humanist , who is credited with having given the Renaissance its name. He traveled widely and wrote many learned works, but his most enduring writings by far are the poems he addressed to Laura, a mysterious beloved whom he may never have met. Petrarch (Francesco Petrarca in Italian) was born in Arezzo to a notary and his wife, and spent his early childhood in the village of Incisa, near Florence . His father, Ser Petracco, had been banished from Florence in 1302 by the Black Guelphs, due to his political connections with Dante . Petrarch spent much of his early life at Avignon , where his family moved to follow Pope Clement V who moved there in 1309 during a papal schism, and nearby Carpentras, both in Vaucluse . He studied at Montpellier (1319 - 23) and moved to Bologna , where he studied law in 1323-25. Though trained in law and religion, Petrarch was primarily interested in writing and Latin literature, sharing this passion with his friend Giovanni Boccaccio . In search for old Latin classics and manuscripts, he traveled through France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. With his first large scale work

http://130.238.50.3/ilmh/Ren/ren-pet-brown.htm
The historical importance of Francesco Petrarca Alison Brown on the paradox of Petrarch
After returning to Italy he was constantly on the move, first patronised by the Correggio lords of Parma, then by the Visconti lords of Milan, by Andrea Dandolo in Venice and finally by the Carrara lords of Padua, near to whom, at Arqua, he finally built himself a country house where he lived until his death in 1374. With the perception of an outsider, he first put into words many of the feelings and ideas that we now think of as characterising the Renaissance as it later developed: sensitivity to nature, an unashamed desire for glory as well as for physical love - which Petrarch described as "two adamantine chains" from which he tried to escape but couldn't - the cultivation of friendship through letter-writing, and above all, a close rapport with classical literature.
Letter-writing, too, contributed to his self-construction, since Petrarch, like Cicero, published his "familiar letters" as part of his attempt to unify fragmented episodes of his life into a collective whole. So too did art. It can be no coincidence that more painted portraits survive of Petrarch than of any of his contemporaries. Though not a painter himself, Petrarch patronised new painters like Simone Martini [c. 1284-1344], who painted a portrait of Laura, as well as a cover for Petrarch's equally beloved copy of Virgil, both important figures in his life-story. He also patronised Giotto, by whom he owned a painted Madonna. Fittingly, Petrarch himself is immortalised in the Hall of the Famous Men in Padua together with the famous ancients he had immortalised in

1.14. Giovanni Boccaccio - vernacular and latin James Hankins on Petrarch's view of language Francesco Petrarca would have been surprised at how it all turned out. In the end he acquiredas he had hopeda fame that far outlived his time. But it happened not at all in the way he expected. The great scholar-poet (1304-1374) was already, it is true, famous in his own day as a writer of passionate love lyrics in Italian. There were few educated Italians of the fourteenth century who did not know his Canzoniere (Book of Songs). Yet Petrarch himself believed that the fame he had won from his intricately wrought sonnets and canzoni could not long survive. The private title he gave his Canzoniere significantly, a Latin titlewas Rerum vulgarium fragmenta, which means something like "Bits of Stuff in the Vulgar Tongue." This rather dismissive title shows, in effect, what Petrarch the Latin author thought of Petrarch the volgare poet. Petrarch the Latin author never dreamed that the canonical status he would one day enjoy would come not from his Latin epic, the Africa , or from his numerous other Latin writings, but from those little "bits of stuff." True, universal, eternal fame, he was sure, could come only from works written in the eternal tongue of the ancient Romans. That is why the greatest Italian poet of his time spent the better part of his career writing in a language that, today, hardly anyone reads.

PETRARCH'S SECRET. Trans. William H. Draper
(Connecticut: Hyperion Press) AUTHOR'S PREFACE When I heard her thus speak, though my fear still clung about me, with trembling voice I made reply in Virgil's words "What name to call thee by, O virgin fair, I know not, for thy looks are not of earth And more than mortal seems thy countenances" I am that Lady, she answered, whom you have depicted in your poem Africa with rare art and skill, and for whom, like another Amphion of Thebes, you have with poetic hands built a fair and glorious Palace in the far West on Atlas's lofty peak. Be not afraid, then, to listen and to look upon the face of her who, as your finely-wrought allegory proves, has been well known to you from of old. Augustine answered her: 'You are my guide, my Counselor, my Sovereign, my Ruler; what is it, then, you would have me say in your presence ?" "I would," she replied, "that some human voice speak to the ears of this mortal man. He will better bear to hear truth so. But seeing that whatever you shall say to him he will take as said by me, I also will be present in person during your discourse." To avoid the too frequent iteration of the words "said I," "said he," and to bring the personages of the Dialogue, as it were, before one's very eyes, I have acted on Cicero's method and merely placed the name of each interlocutor before each paragraph. My dear Master learned this mode himself from Plato. But to cut short all further digression, this is how Augustine opened the discourse.

By Guardian Newspapers, 4/5/2004 Of all the world's great writers, Petrarch is the best known for losing his head. On Good Friday in 1327, the then 23-year-old writer and scholar fell madly - and forlornly - in love with a woman he saw in a church congregation.
His bad luck, to become enamoured of a woman who did not return his affections, was the rest of humanity's good fortune. For, in seeking to express his feelings for the woman he called Laura, Francesco Petrarch gave definitive form to the sonnet and established himself as the first modern, western poet.
Now, it seems, he has lost his head for a second time.
