Torment and storm of love: Two rewrites of a Petrarch’s sonnet
Abstract
The article analyzes two versions of Petrarch’s CXXXII sonnet, by Pedro de Cartagena and Joan Boscán, in the earlier and contemporary period of the new Petrarchan orientation respectively. Besides the comparison with the original Italian sonnet, the argument is focused on the use of the verb tratar in position of rhyme. The use and etomology of this verb seem to suggest references to a literary tradition different from the amorous one. The analysis shows that both Castilian poets are more focused on one aspect of the original sonnet, and they leave aside the metaphorical image of the navigium amoris, or to say it better, they use this image in a much more allusive way.
