Francesco Petrarca in Deutschland

The volume assembles 36 articles deriving from an international transdisciplinary colloquium organized at the University of Freiburg im Breisgau in 2004 to mark the 700th anniversary of the birth of Francesco Petrarca (1304-1374). It is the first-ever attempt to provide a comprehensive overview of the immense impact Petrarca and his works have had on literature, art, and music in Germany from neo-Latin humanism to contemporary poetry.
