The City of Poetry
What did it mean to be a poet in fourteenth-century Italy? What counted as poetry? In an effort to answer these questions, this book examines the careers of four medieval Italian poets (Albertino Mussato, Dante Alighieri, Francesco Petrarch, and Giovanni Boccaccio) who wrote in both Latin and the Italian vernacular. In readings of defenses of poetry, speeches and letters on public laurel-crowning ceremonies, and other theoretical and poetic texts, this book shows how these poets viewed their authorship of poetic works as a function of their engagement in a human community. Each poet represents a model of the poet as a public intellectual a poet-theologian who can intervene in public affairs thanks to his authority within texts. The City of Poetry provides a new historicized approach to understanding poetic culture in fourteenth-century Italy which reshapes long-standing Romantic views of poetry as a timeless and sublimely inspired form of discourse.
David G. Lummus is the co-director of the Center for Italian Studies and Devers Family Program in Dante Studies and a visiting assistant professor of Italian at the University of Notre Dame. He has published on fourteenth-century Italian poetry and poetics, especially Giovanni Boccaccio, and the reception of classical culture in medieval Italy. He is the co-editor of A Boccaccian Renaissance (2019).

This book was written between three universities, where I was able to learn from mentors, colleagues, and students with a broad array of interests and expertise. To them goes my gratitude. I hope they are all able to recognize themselves here etsi sine nomine .
I have benefited from generous financial support of my research, without which I would not have been able to write this book: a Geballe Dissertation Prize from the Stanford Humanities Center at Stanford University, an A. Whitney Griswold Faculty Research Grant and a Morse Fellowship for Junior Faculty in the Humanities from Yale University, and a Junior Faculty Leave from Stanford University. I also acknowledge the Medieval Institute of the University of Notre Dame, which allowed me to use its rich library as a Visiting Scholar, as well as Notre Dames Center for Italian Studies, which welcomed me first as a guest and then as a fellow citizen, and which gave me several opportunities to present my research for this book to groups of knowledgeable scholars.
