Book Description

This unfailingly lucid and intelligent study supplies further cogent evidence of American scholarship's steadily maturing involvement with the second most interesting writer of the Italian trecento. Sherberg . . . reads Boccaccio's Decameron with attentive care, skillfully deploying close textual analysis, his extensive familiarity with the relevant secondary literature, and an informed understanding of 20th-century legal theory .
