This panel invites innovative approaches to Petrarch’s oeuvre that consider the global reach and expanse of Petrarch and/or Petrarchism as reflected in: Petrarch’s work itself; his intertextual engagement with other literary and linguistic traditions; and Petrarchan critique and intertextual responses to his work. Interrogating longstanding perceptions of an “insular” Petrarch, this panel offers an important (re)orientation, considering the sociopolitical, transhistorical, comparative, intertextual, interlinguistic, and plurilinguistic frameworks that help lend to an understanding of a more capacious Petrarch—a Petrarch who can be understood “globally,” in his Latin, vernacular writings, and beyond. Critical approaches engaging with contemporary theory and papers considering non-western texts/frameworks are especially welcome.
