Beginning in fourteenth-century Italy, this book shows how Petrarch established a pattern of inequality between suffering poet and exalted Beloved rooted in political parrh?sia. Sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century French and English poets reshaped his model into an idiom of extravagant brutality coded to their own historical circumstances. Cynthia N. Nazarian argues that these poets exaggerated the posture of the downtrodden lover, adapting the rhetoric of powerless desire to forge a new "countersovereignty" from within the heart of vulnerability-a potentially revolutionary position through which to challenge cultural, religious, and political authority. Creating a secular equivalent to the martyr, early modern sonneteers crafted a voice that was both critical and unstoppable because it suffered.Love's Wounds tracks the development of the countersovereign voice from Francesco Petrarca to Maurice Scève, Joachim du Bellay, Théodore-Agrippa d'Aubigné, Edmund Spenser, and William Shakespeare. Through interdisciplinary and transnational analyses, Nazarian reads early modern sonnets as sites of contestation and collaboration and rewrites the relationship between early modern literary forms. 606 $aEuropean poetry$yRenaissance, 1450-1600$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLove poetry, European$xHistory and criticism 606 $aViolence in literature 606 $aLiterature and state$zEurope$xHistory$y16th century 615 0$aEuropean poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLove poetry, European$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aViolence in literature. 615 0$aLiterature and state$xHistory 676 $a809.193543094 700 $aNazarian$b Cynthia Nyree$f1980-$01703338 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816152303321 996 $aLove's wounds$94088459 997 $aUNINA
