Answer 2

One major difference between Dante's work, "The Divine Comedy," and Petrarch's work, "Canzoniere," is their subject matter. Dante's work is an epic poem that explores theological themes and the afterlife, while Petrarch's work is a collection of sonnets and love poems that focus on personal and emotional experiences. Additionally, Dante wrote in Italian vernacular, while Petrarch wrote in both Latin and Italian.
