Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating look at the life, career, and motivations of Giovanni Boccaccio, the author of the "Decameron" and a significant figure in the Italian Renaissance. By tracing the development of Boccaccio's ideas within the framework of the social and intellectual context of his time, the author reveals how his work epitomized the seismic cultural shift towards humanism and away from religious dogma that defined the period. From his early days as a notary in his father's trade to his later years of scholarly pursuits, we see Boccaccio transform from a young man with a taste for the classics into a mature writer whose work would influence the course of Western literature ā" and continue to resonate with readers today. Not only does this book provide a detailed and nuanced biography of Boccaccio but it also explores the enduring legacy of his work, particularly his masterpieces, "The Decameron" and "On Famous Women." Ultimately, through careful analysis of his literary output and meticulous research into his personal life, the author reveals how Boccaccio's writing continues to provide essential insights into the complexities of human nature itself.
