Abstract

The reader of petrarch's rime sparse is compelled as early as the first sonnet to impose narrative onto the poems. In Voi ch' ascoltate in rime sparse il suono, a poet-figure emerges and addresses the reader as he reflects on what he calls his primo giovenile errore. Finding herself at such an early point already engaged in what seems to be the poet's life story, the reader cannot help but read the subsequent poems with an eye to autobiography. At the same time, however, the rime refuses to be so easily categorized and thus demands its reader to derive a more nuanced interpretation of the text. In this essay I plan to argue that the poet presents the reader with multiple autobiographical realities, a move which allows him to express his progression through time in a way which also resists time.
