Originally published in 1997, Visualizing Boccaccio represents an
intriguing approach to the interpretation of Boccaccio's classic
book of erotic tales, The Decameron. Using literary, critical,
psychoanalytic, and film theories, Jill Ricketts offers a feminist
critique of these stories, exposing tensions generated by sexual
difference that motivate privilege and investigating the
possibilities of change in power relations associated with that
privilege. In a comparison of selected tales from The Decameron
with works by Cimabue and Giotto, fifteenth-century manuscript
illumination, a series of paintings by Botticelli, and Pier Paolo
Pasolini's cinematic interpretation of the tales, Ricketts also
demonstrates how the juxtaposition of verbal and visual renditions
permit new interpretation of each of these works.
