In this deeply researched, carefully analyzed, and engagingly written book, Aileen A. Feng explores Petrach's influence upon Latin humanist prose in Italy's early Renaissance and upon vernacular poetry and prose in its later Renaissance. -- William J. Kennedy * <em>Renaissance Quarterly</em> * Deeply researched, tightly argued, and elegantly written, Feng's book makes an intriguing and compelling argument for revising the conventional chronology of Renaissance Petrarchism. This version is bound to exert influence over the field of Renaissance studies. -- Danila Sokolov, University of Iceland * <em>Early Modern Women</em> *
