Description

Explore the evolution of a vital prose narrative form with The Italian Novella: A Book of Essays. Published as part of the Garland Medieval Casebooks series by Routledge, this volume represents the first collection of essays dedicated to comprehensive scholarship on the Italian novella. This scholarly work traces how the novella developed from medieval exempla and didactic literature to influence modern narrative structures. Readers can examine the genre through various lenses, starting with the Decameron, which stands as the epitome of the form. The collection also provides deep studies of sixteenth-century authors who utilized transgressive or sexual themes within their writing.
