Petrarch in Romantic England

The Petrarchan revival in Romantic England was a unique phenomenon which involved an impressive number of scholars, translators and poets. This book analyses the way Petrarch was read and re-written by Romantic figures. The result is a history of the Romantic-era sonnet and a new lens for understanding English Romantic poetry.

Eduardo Zuccato is based in the English Department at the Universita IULM, Milan, Italy.
