Petrarch & Dante
Edited by Zygmunt G. Baranski and Theodore J. Cachey, Jr.

The William & Katherine Devers Series in Dante Studies, Volume 10

"Petrarch and Dante is a magnificent volume of uniformly superb essays. Instead of surveying Petrarch’s variety or his influence upon later culture, the authors have ingeniously focused on shifting relationships with the poet’s most formidable Italian predecessor, Dante; in so doing, they have produced scholarship that teases out the issues with great subtlety and nuance."

— William J. Kennedy, Cornell University
