Summary
"Investigates widespread metaphors of dismemberment, constraint, cannibalism, wounding, and tyranny in early modern French, English, and Italian literature. Through its comparative, inter-genre studies of Petrarch and five major Petrarchan poets of the sixteenth century, Love's Wounds shows how love poetry was actively transformed into a powerful tool for defining the nation and for reflecting on and shaping state authority"--, Provided by publisher
