英语词汇il canzoniere的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Il Canzoniere. According to tradition, Petrarch wrote his poems for Laura, the daughter of Audibert de Noves and the wife of Count Hugo de Sade, an ancestor of the French noble- man who gave us sadism. Petrarch never revealed the real Laura’s identity, guarding his secret jealously, but he wrote that he saw her for the first time in the church of St. Avignon on April 6, 1327, and that this first sight of her inspired him to become a poet. In the 18th century the Abbé de Sade identified her as the wife of Hugo de Sade, who bore the old man 11 children before dying of the plague in 1348, when she was only 40. But his identification is not certain: It is only known that Laura was a married woman who accepted Petrarch’s devotion but refused all intimate relations. Their platonic love inspired the long series of poems, 366 in all, that are among the most beautiful amorous verse in litera- ture, the most famous the sonnet in praise of their first meeting. The Italians call this collection of lyrics Il Canzo- niere and it is entitled Rime in Vita e Morte di Madonna Lau- ra. Petrarch died long after his Laura (whoever she was). Lord Byron put the whole affair in a more humorous per- spective when he wrote in Don Juan: “Think you, if Laura has been Petrarch’s wife,/ He would have written sonnets all his life.”
