Critical editions of the translations are accompanied by analysis of the reception of Petrarch's work in the British Isles, looking at the circulation of the book in the original Italian and in the various French translations, as well as at the use that is made of the Triumphi motifs not only in literature, but in paintings, music, etc. Alessandra Petrina is Professor of English Literature at the University of Padua. In February 2022, this volume was awarded the 2021 Associazione Italiana di Anglistica (AIA) book prize for a critical edition in the field of English literature. Contents:
