- Title
Vandalio, el amador veleidoso de la poesía de Gutierre de Cetina.
- Authors
Peña, Beatriz Carolina
- Abstract
In both Petrarchism and the Neoplatonic love theories of the Renaissance, the idealization of love does not allow for the possibility of the end of the feeling of love. Nevertheless, Gutierre de Cetina wrote a group of poems whose main topic, the shepherd Vandalio falling out of love with Dórida and in love with Amarílida, subversively leaves in the open love's mutable nature. Starting with the characteristics of the ideal lover, established in the poetry of Francesco Petrarca, and reviewing the love treatises of the XVIth century, among them Tullia d'Aragona's Dialogo della infinitá de amore, this essay analyzes how some of Cetina's poems break the literary and philosophical conventions of his epoch.
