Bernardo discusses the major critics of Petrarch's Laura (DeSanctis, Croce), then devotes two chapters (26-87) to the figure of Laura in the Canzoniere and the Latin works. Seven chapters discuss the poetic image of Laura in the Triumphs, historically, critically, and contextually, the last focussing on Laura as nova figura, not allegory. It belongs in every library ad on every Petrarchist's shelf."
