Publisher Description
The analysis of The Wild Irish Girl bears out the importance of Petrarch and his Italiadition, which opens up a new mode to view the works of British and Irish nineteenth-century authors such as Lady Morgan. The importance of spiritual and physical guidance; the image of Glorvina, the "wild Irish girl" who represents an "Irish Laura"; and the further incorporation of ample Petrarchan convention, such as a "once chilled heart," or the "sparkling fluid" of the eyes, coalesce to depict a decidedly Italian emphasis in specifically Irish and Romantic works. **********
