Book Description
This work seeks to establish the presence of ambiguous, polyvalent characterisation of the first-person voice in the Petrarchan poem sequence and argues that such characterisation triggers a reader-response mechanism characterised by ambivalence and interest which could be called splintered identification, which helps promote reader-involvement.
