"Favola fui": Petrarch Writes His Readers

"Favola fui": Petrarch Writes His ReadersExamines the interplay between reading and writing in the works of Petrarch and Dante. Building upon his 2008 book Dante and the Making of a Modern Author, Albert Russell Ascoli here reflects on the extent to which Petrarch's addresses to and figurations of his relationship to his readers intersect with the oft asserted "modernity" of his authorial stances. In particular, Ascoli argues that following in the wake of Dante's double staging of himself as
