This volume, part of the Lectura Boccaccii series organized by the
American Boccaccio Association, offers close readings by top
scholars of Day Four of the Decameron. As fans of the Decameron
know, the Fourth Day opens with an important intervention in which
the author defends his project against his critics, which coincides
with a significant change in tone as the subject matter turns to
stories with unhappy endings. The contributors approach the stories
from a variety of perspectives, including the linguistic,
philosophical, anthropological, and literary historical. These
fresh readings of stories that are nearly seven hundred years old
testify to the enduring power of Boccaccio's masterpiece to speak
to new audiences and to find compelling relevance even at a great
distance from its immediate medieval context.
