Note(s) : "The seventeen essays presented here ... were first published, in Italian, in the
volume 'Lessico critico decameroniano' (Turin: Bollati Boringhieri, 1995)"--Page ix. - Includes bibliographical references (pages 417-454)
"When originally published in 1995, the volume represented a major, new departure
from the 'normal' sort of scholarship on Boccaccio's masterpiece, and its unique approach
and contents are still valid and valuable today. The seventeen original essays in
the volume focus on providing a comprehensive view of the Decameron through the analysis
of particular aspects, particular problem areas in the reading and interpretation
of the work. Each essay offers a critical window on a defined topic (indicated by
the headwords), and, when taken together, these individual essays intersect with,
supplement, and reinforce one another, thus emphasizing the harmonious nature of the
work as a whole and the importance of examining it through a variety of lenses. The
newness of the volume also consists in its introduction of innovative exegetical approaches
and the identification of previously unidentified sources and influences. While not
providing an orderly reading of the Decameron as a more traditional series of day-by-day
lecturae would do, the essays examine multiple novelle from various Days and from
differing perspectives so as to provide an assemblage of comprehensive views on the
text. For the English-language edition two new items have been added: an update to
Vittore Branca's essay on the history of the text of the Decameron and a bibliographical
overview of North-American studies on the Decameron and, more generally, on Boccaccio's
life, works and influence."--Back cover
