Beskrivning
Reconsidering Boccaccio highlights the great Florentine writer Giovanni Boccaccio’s remarkable achievements in the fourteenth century as a cultural mediator; his exceptional social, geographic, and intellectual range; and the influence of his legacy on numerous cultural networks. Grounded in Boccaccio’s own writings, Reconsidering Boccaccio brings a variety of methodologies and critical approaches to the works of one of the ‘three crowns’ of Italian literature. Containing essays by scholars not only of Italian literature, but also history, law, classics, and Middle Eastern literature, this collection is part of a vital movement to open up a dialogue among researchers in various areas of study  that touch on the works of Boccaccio. The volume highlights the necessity of a technical and historical framework when approaching Boccaccio studies, while also shedding new light on the lives of women and their role in the reception of Boccaccio’s works.

Recensioner i media

"This collection of essays, which moves from the close examination of Boccaccio’s own manuscript of the Decameron to the larger social and legal contextualization of his works to their reception in Renaissance Europe, will prove a valuable point of reference to students and scholars of Boccaccio for years to come."- David G. Lummus, University of Notre Dame (Speculum) "This is a learned and provocative set of essays that should interest any scholar working in early modern European or Mediterranean studies."- Brenda Deen Schildgen, University of California, Davis (, University of Toronto Quarterly: Letters in Canada 2018)
