This book presents an interpretation of Maurice Sceve's lyric
sequence Delie, object de plus haulte vertu (Lyon, 1544) in
literary relation to the Vita nuova, Commedia, and other works of
Dante Alighieri. Dante's subtle influence on Sceve is elucidated in
depth for the first time, augmenting the allusions in Delie to the
Canzoniere of Petrarch (Francesco Petrarca). Sceve's sequence of
dense, epigrammatic dizains is considered to be an early example,
prior to the Pleiade poets, of French Renaissance imitation of
Petrarch's vernacular poetry, in a time when imitatio was an
established literary practice, signifying the poet's participation
in a tradition. While the Canzoniere is an important source for
Sceve's Delie, both works are part of a poetic lineage that
includes Occitan troubadours, Guinizzelli, Cavalcanti, and Dante.
The book situates Dante as a relevant predecessor and source for
Sceve, and examines anew the Petrarchan label for Delie. Compelling
poetic affinities emerge between Dante and Sceve that do not
correlate with Petrarch.
