There, he claimed, he saw for the first time a beautiful, God-fearing, and married woman named Laura in church on Good Friday in 1327. By the end of 1337, he had assembled his first collection of lyric poems in Italian, and in 1341 was crowned poet laureate in Rome. Petrarch spent the next thirty years or so completing his masterpiece, variously known as Canzoniere, Rime sparse, and Rerum vulgarium fragmenta, chronicling its speaker's frustrated love for Laura while she lived and long after she died of bubonic plague in 1348.","brand":"Finishing Line Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50903609409810,"sku":"9781635346800","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_55194e83-e06e-4b18-9fad-26d95cf9b914.jpg?v=1738499427","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/to-wrestle-with-the-angel-sonnets-from-petrarchs-chapbook-of-1337-9781635346800","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
