{"product_id":"the-shadow-of-dante-in-french-renaissance-lyric-9781501517976","title":"The Shadow of Dante in French Renaissance Lyric","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book presents an interpretation of Maurice Scève’s lyric sequence \u003cem\u003eDélie\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eobject de plus haulte vertu\u003c\/em\u003e (Lyon, 1544) in literary relation to the \u003cem\u003eVita nuova\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eCommedia\u003c\/em\u003e, and other works of Dante Alighieri. Dante’s subtle influence on Scève is elucidated in depth for the first time, augmenting the allusions in \u003cem\u003eDélie\u003c\/em\u003e to the \u003cem\u003eCanzoniere\u003c\/em\u003e of Petrarch (Francesco Petrarca). Scève’s sequence of dense, epigrammatic \u003cem\u003edizains\u003c\/em\u003e is considered to be an early example, prior to the Pléiade poets, of French Renaissance imitation of Petrarch’s vernacular poetry, in a time when \u003cem\u003eimitatio\u003c\/em\u003e was an established literary practice, signifying the poet’s participation in a tradition. While the \u003cem\u003eCanzoniere\u003c\/em\u003e is an important source for Scève’s \u003cem\u003eDélie\u003c\/em\u003e, both works are part of a poetic lineage that includes Occitan troubadours, Guinizzelli, Cavalcanti, and Dante. The book situates Dante as a relevant predecessor and source for Scève, and examines anew the Petrarchan label for \u003cem\u003eDélie\u003c\/em\u003e. Compelling poetic affinities emerge between Dante and Scève that do not correlate with Petrarch. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alison Baird Lovell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48211051380987,"sku":"9781501517976","price":135.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_c88fa161-a432-4a0f-b4bb-a537eb117429.jpg?v=1778452865","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/the-shadow-of-dante-in-french-renaissance-lyric-9781501517976","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
