Printed Writings 1641–1700: Series II, Part Three, Volume 8
Omschrijving
Reprints Anna Hume's translation of Petrarch's "The Triumphs of Love", a series of six poems celebrating Petrarch's purported devotion to Laura. The poems tell a tale of Love's triumph over the poet, superseded by the triumph of chastity (Laura did not yield to Petrarch's love) which is in turn superseded by the triumph of death over Laura.
