The author argues that Petrarchan poetic conventions were part of a social discourse that signaled anxiety concerning the rising place of women as intellectual interlocators, public figures, and patrons of the arts."--Provided by publisherItalian poetry16th centuryHistory and criticismCriticism, interpretation, etc.fastLiteratureBemboCiceroMedusaPetrarchPetrarchan sonnetPhilosophy of loveRenaissance humanismItalian poetryHistory and criticism.851/.409Feng Aileen, 967675DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK996580166203316Writing Beloveds2197264UNISA
