This volume originates from the Society for Italian Studies Postgraduate Colloquia that took place at the University of Leicester and Cambridge in June 2004 and April 2005 respectively. It gathers together articles by young researchers working on various aspects of Italian Studies. It well illustrates current trends in both typical areas of research, like literature and 'high culture', and in those which have gained momentum in recent years, like translation and language studies. The volume offers a taste of the dynamic outlook of current research in Italian Studies: the interdisciplinary approach of the essays in translation and gender studies, and the innovative methodological perspectives and findings offered by the new fields of Italian L2 and ethnography. The book is divided into three sections, each grouping contributions by broad subject areas: literature and culture, translation and gender studies, language and linguistics. Cross-fertilizations and interdisciplinary research emerge from several essays and the coherent ensemble constitutes an example of the far-reaching results achieved by current research.

853.1PQ4267The Decameron ( title: ' Decameron' or ' Decamerone' ), subtitled ' Prince Galehaut' (Old: Prencipe Galeotto and sometimes nicknamed 'Umana commedia', 'Human '), is a collection of by the 14th-century Italian author (1313–1375). The book is structured as a containing 100 tales told by a group of seven young women and three young men sheltering in a secluded villa just outside to escape the, which was afflicting the city. Boccaccio probably conceived of The Decameron after the epidemic of 1348, and completed it by 1353. The various tales of love in The Decameron range from the to the.
Tales of wit, and life lessons contribute to the mosaic. In addition to its literary value and widespread influence (for example on 's ), it provides a document of life at the time. Written in the of the, it is considered a masterpiece of classical early Italian prose.
Miniature by in a manuscript of c. 1467 from (, Oxford)In Italy during the time of the, a group of seven young women and three young men flee from plague-ridden to a deserted villa in the countryside of for two weeks. To pass the evenings, each member of the party tells a story each night, except for one day per week for chores, and the holy days during which they do no work at all, resulting in ten nights of over the course of two weeks. Thus, by the end of the they have told.Each of the ten characters is charged as King or Queen of the company for one of the ten days in turn. This charge extends to choosing the theme of the stories for that day, and all but two days have topics assigned: examples of the power of fortune; examples of the power of human will; love tales that end tragically; love tales that end happily; clever replies that save the speaker; tricks that women play on men; tricks that people play on each other in general; examples of virtue. Only Dioneo, who usually tells the tenth tale each day, has the right to tell a tale on any topic he wishes, due to his wit. Many authors have argued that Dioneo expresses the views of Boccaccio himself.
Each day also includes a short introduction and conclusion to continue the frame of the tales by describing other daily activities besides story-telling. These frame tale interludes frequently include transcriptions of Italian folk songs.
The interactions among tales in a day, or across days, as Boccaccio spins of previous material, forms a whole and not just a collection of stories. The basic plots of the stories include mocking the lust and greed of the clergy; tensions in Italian society between the new wealthy commercial class and noble families; and the perils and adventures of traveling merchants.Analysis. Lauretta, one of the narrators of the Decameron, painted byThroughout the Decameron the mercantile ethic prevails and predominates.
The commercial and urban values of quick wit, sophistication, and intelligence are treasured, while the vices of stupidity and dullness are cured, or punished. While these traits and values may seem obvious to the modern reader, they were an emerging feature in Europe with the rise of urban centers and a monetized economic system beyond the traditional rural and monastery systems which placed greater value on piety and loyalty. Beyond the unity provided by the frame narrative, the Decameron provides a unity in philosophical outlook.
Throughout runs the common medieval theme of, and how quickly one can rise and fall through the external influences of the '. Boccaccio had been educated in the tradition of Dante's, which used various levels of to show the connections between the literal events of the story and the Christian message. However, the Decameron uses Dante's model not to educate the reader but to satirize this method of learning. The, priests, and religious belief become the satirical source of comedy throughout. This was part of a wider historical trend in the aftermath of the Black Death which saw widespread discontent with the church.Many details of the Decameron are infused with a sense of and mystical significance.

For example, it is widely believed that the seven young women are meant to represent the (Prudence, Justice, Temperance, and Fortitude) and the (Faith, Hope, and Charity). It is further supposed that the three men represent the classical Greek tripartite division of the soul (Reason, Spirit, and Appetite, see Book IV of ). Boccaccio himself notes that the names he gives for these ten characters are in fact chosen as 'appropriate to the qualities of each'. The Italian names of the seven women, in the same (most likely significant) order as given in the text, are Pampinea, Fiammetta, Filomena, Emilia, Lauretta, Neifile, and Elissa. The men, in order, are Panfilo, Filostrato, and Dioneo.Boccaccio focused on the naturalness of sex by combining and interlacing sexual experiences with nature.Literary sources. The Banquet in the Pine Forest (1482/3) is the third painting in 's series The Story of Nastagio degli Onesti, which illustrates events from the Eighth Story of the Fifth Day.Boccaccio borrowed the plots of almost all his stories (just as later writers borrowed from him).
Although he consulted only French, Italian and Latin sources, some of the tales have their origin in such far-off lands as India, Persia, Spain, and other places. Some were already centuries old. For example, part of the tale of Andreuccio of Perugia (II, 5) originated in 2nd-century Ephesus (in the ). The frame narrative structure (though not the characters or plot) originates from the, which was written in before AD 500 and came to Boccaccio through a chain of translations that includes,. Even the description of the central current event of the narrative, the (which Boccaccio surely witnessed), is not original, but based on the Historia gentis Langobardorum of, who lived in the 8th century.Some scholars have suggested that some of the tales for which there is no prior source may still not have been invented by Boccaccio, but may have been circulating in the local oral tradition, with Boccaccio simply the first person known to have recorded them. Boccaccio himself says that he heard some of the tales orally. In VII, 1, for example, he claims to have heard the tale from an old woman who heard it as a child.

The story of Cimone and Efigenia (c. 1617), the First Story from the Fifth Day, work by, andThe fact that Boccaccio borrowed the storylines that make up most of the Decameron does not mean he mechanically reproduced them. Most of the stories take place in the 14th century and have been sufficiently updated to the author's time that a reader may not know that they had been written centuries earlier or in a foreign culture. Also, Boccaccio often combined two or more unrelated tales into one (such as in II, 2 and VII, 7).Moreover, many of the characters actually existed, such as, and King. Scholars have even been able to verify the existence of less famous characters, such as the tricksters Bruno and and their victim. Still other fictional characters are based on real people, such as the Madonna Fiordaliso from tale II, 5, who is derived from a Madonna Flora who lived in the red light district of Naples.
Boccaccio often intentionally muddled historical (II, 3) and geographical (V, 2) facts for his narrative purposes. Within the tales of The Decameron, the principal characters are usually developed through their dialogue and actions, so that by the end of the story they seem real and their actions logical given their context.Another of Boccaccio's frequent techniques was to make already existing tales more complex. A clear example of this is in tale IX, 6, which was also used by Chaucer in his ', which more closely follows the original French source than does Boccaccio's version. In the Italian version, the host's wife and the two young male visitors occupy all three beds and she also creates an explanation of the happenings of the evening.
Both elements are Boccaccio's invention and make for a more complex version than either Chaucer's version or the French source (a by Jean de Boves).Translations into English The Decameron 's individual tales were translated into English early on (such as poet William Walter's 1525 Here begynneth ye hystory of Tytus & Gesyppus translated out of Latyn into Englysshe by Wyllyam Walter, somtyme seruaunte to Syr Henry Marney, a translation of tale X.viii), or served as source material for English authors such as Chaucer to rework.

Explicitly omits tales III.x and IX.x, and removed the homosexual innuendo in tale V.x: “Boccace is so licentious in many places, that it requires some management to preserve his wit and humour, and render him tolerably decent.
This I have attempted with the loss of two novels, which I judged incapable of such treatment; and am apprehensive, it may still be thought by some people, that I have rather omitted too little, than too much.”Reissued several times with small or large modifications, sometimes without acknowledgement of the original translator.
