  Although Francesco Petrarca (1304-74) is best known today for cementing the sonnet's place in literary history, he was also a philosopher, historian, orator, and one of the foremost classical scholars of his age. This title provides information on each of Petrarch's works, its place in the poet's oeuvre, and an exposition of its defining features.
