Petrarch was a devoted classical scholar who is considered the “Father of Humanism,”a philosophy that helped set the stage for the Renaissance. Petrarch's writing includes well--known poems to Laura,his idealized love. His writing was also used to shape the modem Italian language.
Petrarch was bom on July 20 ,1304,in Italy. With his family,he moved to France as a child. In France,Petrarch studied law,as his father had wished. However,his interest was in literature,particularly that of ancient Greece and Rome. After his father's death in 1326,Petrarch left law to focus on the classics.
As Petrarch learned more about the classical period,he began to respect that time greatly and fight against the limitations of his own time. Though he felt that he lived "among varied and confusing storms,” Petrarch believed that humanity could once more reach the heights of past accomplishments. The belief he followed became known as humanism,and formed a bridge from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance.
Petrarch's other interest was writing. His first pieces were poems that he wrote after the death of his mother. He would go on to write sonnets(十四行诗） letters,histories and more. Petrarch's writing was greatly admired during his lifetime,and he was nameci Rome's poet laureate(桂冠诗人) in 1341. The work Petrarch held in highest regard was his Latin composition an epic poem (史
诗) about the Second Punic War. His vernacular (用方言写的) poems achieved greater fame , however,and would later be used to help create the modem Italian language.
As one of the world's first classical scholars , Petrarch uncovered vast stores of knowledge in the lost texts he discovered,while his philosophy of humanism helped encourage the intellectual growth and accomplishments of the Renaissance. Petrarch is remembered for his poems,sonnets and other writing.His vernacular writing was given everlasting fame when it was used—alongside;the works of Dante Alighieri and Giovanni i Boccaccio—as the foundation for the modern Italian language.
