Through the analysis of several prose and verse works by Luigi Pulci, the essay highlights the relationship between him and his audience, distinguishing his writings intended for private, or at least restricted, use (all his letters, some sonnets) from those intended for public circulation through the printing (the Morgante and the Confessione). The different nature of the author’s relationship with his audience, which does not always conform to the schematic division noted above, also influences the ways the critics may use to comment these texts, requiring the interpreter to identify quotations, allusions, and intertextual relationships that prove crucial to a true understanding of the author’s words.

Abstract
Through the analysis of several prose and verse works by Luigi Pulci, the essay highlights the relationship between him and his audience, distinguishing his writings intended for private, or at least restricted, use (all his letters, some sonnets) from those intended for public circulation through the printing (the Morgante and the Confessione). The different nature of the author’s relationship with his audience, which does not always conform to the schematic division noted above, also influences the ways the critics may use to comment these texts, requiring the interpreter to identify quotations, allusions, and intertextual relationships that prove crucial to a true understanding of the author’s words.
