Abstract

This article analyses the metre, syntax, argumentative structure and imagery of Sonnet 26 in Iacopo Sannazaro’s Sonetti et canzoni, in relation to the model of Petrarch’s Fragmenta. Particular attention is dedicated to the textual variants present in the manuscript versions with respect to the first edition, exploring how the corrections redesigned the stylistic features of the poem and introduced a bolder depictive effect, which together reshaped the meaning evoked by the work.
