Petrarch fashioned so many different versions of himself for
posterity that it is an exacting task to establish where one might
start to explore. . . . Hainsworth's study meets this problem
through examples of what Petrarch wrote, and does so decisively and
succinctly. . . . [A] careful and unpretentious book, penetrating
in its organization and treatment of its subject, gentle in its
guidance of the reader, nimble and dexterous in its scholarly
infrastructure-and no less profound for those qualities of
lightness. The translations themselves are a delight, and are
clearly the result of profound meditation and extensive experiment.
. . . The Introduction and the notes to each work form a clear
plexus of support for the reader, with a host of deft
cross-references. --Richard Mackenny, Binghamton University, State
University of New York
