Petrarch, Francesco
Petrarch, Francesco (1304–74) Italian lyric poet and scholar. Most of his lyric poems,
Rime sparse, have as their subject ‘Laura’, a woman idealized in the style of earlier poets but seen in a more realistic and human light. Other works, which include an autobiography (1342–58), further illuminate his belief in the compatibility of classical and Christian traditions.
