Michael Schmidt, choosing as his travel companions not critics or theorists but other novelists, does full justice to its complexity. Num Pages: 1180 pages. BIC Classification: DSA; DSK.

Paperback. At the centre of Petrarch's vision, announcing a new way of seeing the world, was the individual, a sense of the self. This self seemed to be fragmented in Petrarch's work, divided among the worlds of philosophy, faith, and love of the classics, politics, art, and religion. This book shows how these fragmentary explorations relate to each other. Series: Duke Monographs in Medieval & Renaissance Studies. Num Pages: 248 pages.
