This collective volume documents the German reception of the last
novella of Boccaccio's Decameron. It is about Griselda, a poor
daughter of a peasant, whom the Marquis Gualtieri marries and
subsequently repudiates and humiliates in an inhumane way. Finally,
after being subjected to numerous trials which she endures
patiently, she is reinstated as wife and marchioness. The book
explores the German reception of the Griselda figuration as gender
paradigm from the Middle Ages up to the Modern Age in a European
context.
