Summary "Attraverso il Cinquecento" by Arturo Graf is a literary analysis written in the early 20th century. The work explores the themes of Petrarchism and antipetrarchism during the Italian Renaissance, focusing on the complex relationships between poets and their inspirations, notably the enduring influence of Petrarch. Graf examines not only the literary styles and sentiments of the time but also the cultural and societal dynamics that shaped the poetic landscape. The opening of the text sets the stage for this examination by introducing the concept of Petrarchism as a dominant force within Italian literature during the 1500s. Graf describes how this trend, which reveres Petrarch as a literary master, manifests in various forms of imitation across generations of poets. He acknowledges the criticisms and reactions to this overwhelming reverence, leading to a burgeoning antipetrarchism that arose as a pushback against the conventions established by Petrarch's followers. Through a rigorous analysis, Graf aims to dissect these competing literary movements and their cultural implications, providing insights into the broader narrative of Renaissance literary history.
