One of the most important authors of the Middle Ages, Petrarch
occupies a complex position: historically, he is a medieval author,
but, philosophically, he heralds humanism and the Renaissance.
Teachers of Petrarch's Canzoniere and his formative influence on
the canon of Western European poetry face particular challenges.
Petrarch's poetic style brings together the classical tradition,
Christianity, an exalted sense of poetic vocation, and an obsessive
love for Laura during her life and after her death in ways that can
seem at once very strange and-because of his style's immense
influence-very familiar to students. This volume aims to meet the
varied needs of instructors, whether they teach Petrarch in Italian
or in translation, in surveys or in specialized courses, by
providing a wealth of pedagogical approaches to Petrarch and his
legacy. Part 1, "Materials," reviews the extensive bibliography on
Petrarch and Petrarchism, covering editions and translations of the
Canzoniere, secondary works, and music and other audiovisual and
electronic resources. Part 2, "Approaches," opens with essays on
teaching the Canzoniere and continues with essays on teaching the
Petrarchan tradition. Some contributors use the design and
structure of the Canzoniere as entryways into the work; others
approach it through discussion of Petrarch's literary influences
and subject matter or through the context of medieval Christianity
and culture. The essays on Petrarchism map the poet's influence on
the Italian lyric tradition as well as on other national
literatures, including Spanish, French, English, and Russian.
