What is The Shadow of Dante in French Renaissance Lyric: Scève's Délie (Research in Medieval and Early Modern Culture) (Research in Medieval and Early Modern ... in Medieval and Early Modern Culture, 72) about?

This book presents an interpretation of Maurice Scève’s lyric sequence __Délie__, __object de plus haulte vertu__ (Lyon, 1544) in literary relation to the __Vita nuova__, __Commedia__, and other works of Dante Alighieri. Dante’s subtle influence on Scève is elucidated in depth for the first time, augmenting the allusions in __Délie__ to the __Canzoniere__ of Petrarch (Francesco Petrarca). Scève’s sequence of dense, epigrammatic __dizains__ is considered to be an early example, prior to the Pléiade poets, of French Renaissance imitation of Petrarch’s vernacular poetry, in a time when __imitatio__ was an established literary practice, signifying the poet’s participation in a tradition. While the __Canzoniere__ is an important source for Scève’s __Délie__, both works are part of a poetic lineage that includes Occitan troubadours, Guinizzelli, Cavalcanti, and Dante. The book situates Dante as a relevant predecessor and source for Scève, and examines anew the Petrarchan label for __Délie__. Compelling poetic affinities emerge between Dante and Scève that do not correlate with Petrarch.
