>Petrarch was a nu-atheist who avoided arguing with the church, pursued a life of pleasure and resurrected poetry in western Europe
You can't make this shit up, the man that brought poetry back to Europe and paved the road to Shakespeare didn't even believe in the Christian God. You dumb faggot incels don't stand a chance because even back in its heyday cucktianity was loathed by the brightest minds of the middle ages. How does it feel to base your whole life on coping?

What is the best way to know Petrarch's ideas without reading translated poetry? I really don't want to read his butchered poetry, but if I must I will. I was thinking something tracing his most influential ideas as well as poetic techniques.
