Essays on Petrarch: Foscolo, Ugo, 1778-1827: Free.
Foscolo was born on the Ionian island of Zakynthos. His father was Andrea Foscolo, an impoverished Venetian nobleman, and his mother Diamantina Spathis was Greek. In 1788, on the death of his father, who worked as a physician in Spalato, today Croatia (Split), the family removed to Venice, and at the University of Padua Foscolo completed the studies begun at the Dalmatian grammar school.
Essays on Petrarch The project for a systematic critical work on Petrarch was fed by the desire to continue the articles on Dante published by the “Edinburgh Review” with a contribution on the other great poet of the 14 th century and from the conversations at the salon of Sir Henry Russell where Foscolo read and commented on Petrarch's verses addressing, above all, Caroline Russell.

Foscolo’s twelve sonnets (known collectively as the “Sonetti”), which combine the strength of Dante and the melancholy of Petrarch, have much in common with his novel Last Letters of Jacopo Ortis.
Note 1. These two translations by Lady Dacre are taken from the Essays on Petrarch by Ugo Foscolo, who in his dedication writes—“I am prompted to inscribe these pages with your ladyship’s name, as well by my own gratitude, as by the opinion of those distinguished literary characters, whose kind assistance, surpassed only by yours, has enabled me to present my Essays to the English reader.
Abstract. As Foscolo had stated in his Orazione inaugurale (1809), literature does represent the highest cultural manifestation of human ethical values; in the Middle Ages, Petrarch was the pioneer of a different kind of moral and poetical sensibility: with his three Essays on Petrarch (1823), Foscolo gave a detailed explanation of the Tuscan poet’s attitudes and feelings, which proved that.
From 1816 until his death in 1827, Foscolo lived in England and dedicated himself to producing scholarly, critical works such as Saggi sul Petrarca (1821; Essays on Petrarch, 1823) and Discorso.
