Description

Explore the history of humor and storytelling with The Revival: The Facetiae of Poggio and Other Medieval Story-tellers. Originally published in 1928 and presented as part of the Routledge Revivals series, this work examines the ancient lineage of the facetie. The text traces these humorous tales from their roots in the Greek apopthegm through Latin literature and into the Persian and Arabian traditions of Oriental literature. This volume provides a deep look at how the Florentine facetia evolved from its predecessors. While the Greek and Roman forms differed in subject matter, this study explores the shifts in character and form that defined medieval storytelling. It is an essential resource for readers interested in European history, specifically the literary traditions of Italy and the broader evolution of the jocular anecdote.
