19. Petrarch: Selected Sonnets, Odes and Letters by Thomas G. Bergin published: 1966 (Petrarch lived 1304-1374, and wrote the Canzoniere from roughly 1327 to his death.) format: 146-page paperback acquired: Feb 19 read: Feb 19 – May 23 time reading: 7:56, 3.3 mpp rating: 4 about the author: Thomas G. Bergin was an American scholar of Italian literature, 1904-1987
I discovered this oddball anthology from 1966 in the introduction to The Poetry of Petrarch by David Young. It forms something like a cabinet of curiosities. It collects translations of about half of Petrarch‘s full 366 poem Canzoniere. Highlights are the older poets like Geoffrey Chaucer (translating in 1384!), Thomas Wyatt, and Henry, Earl of Surrey. And I really liked all the Morris Bishop and Joseph Auslander. Lowlights are painfully forced rhyming and one where the translator chose the word “blithe” to be used over and over again in a long poem. Overall it has a Victorian feel and very poor translation accuracy. Since i had more accurate translations available I found this great fun.
