Synopsis
This inaugural book in a new series of critical essays on the Decameron will provide an important guide to reading the complex series of narratives that constitute the opening of the Decameron and will serve as a guide to reading the entire work., Giovanni Boccaccio's Decameron is the best known and most read work in Italian literature next to Dante's Divine Comedy . In the tradition of Lectura Dantis , the practice of story-by-story critical readings of Dante's work, Elissa Weaver has collected essays from some of the most prominent American Boccaccio scholars to provide critical readings of the Decameron Proem, Introduction, and the ten stories that constitute the first of the ten 'days' of storytelling. The first of the twelve essays opens the volume with a consideration of the Proem, demonstrating the importance of Boccaccio's literary subtexts (Ovidian and Dantean) for understanding his poetics. The second essay, on the Introduction, discusses the title of the work and the framing tale. The remaining ten contributions treat in detail each story, examining the literary, ethical, and social concerns embodied in the short narratives and in the context provided by the comments and discussions of the story-tellers, and exploring the intertextual relations within the Decameron and with sources and analogues. This inaugural book in a new series of critical essays on the Decameron will provide an important guide to reading the complex series of narratives that constitute the opening of the Decameron and will serve as a guide to reading the entire work.

- a***n (783)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI bought this book because of the beautiful binding! The packaging was a quarter inch thick cardboard over bubblewrap, it was practically bulletproof & shipping was well tracked and fast. This book, "The Art of War," had a very good description and the pictures were great - looked better in person! A very good price for this classic book in hardcover. The Seller, PrepBooks, is reliable, descriptions were accurate, pictures were accurate, shipping was very prompt. I will buy here again!
