The Disperata, from Medieval Italy to Renaissance France /

Show other versions (1)

This study explores how the themes of the disperata genre - including hopelessness, death, suicide, doomed love, collective trauma, and damnations - are creatively adopted by poets in Italy and France, to establish a tradition that at times merges with, and at times subverts, Petrarchism.
