Three Dialogues Between Himself and S. Augustine Petrarca, Francesco 1304-1374 creator Draper, William H. 1855-1933 text utu 2015 monographic en 1 online resource : multiple file formats "Petrarch's Secret; or, the Soul's Conflict with Passion" by Francesco Petrarca is a trilogy of dialogues in Latin written between 1342 and 1353. In this deeply personal work, Petrarch examines his faith through imagined conversations with Saint Augustine, who challenges him on his devotion to earthly love and poetic fame. Augustine argues these passions bind Petrarch's will and prevent him from embracing God fully. The work reflects Petrarch's struggle to reconcile his Renaissance humanism with Christian faith.
