Law and Mimesis in Boccaccio's Decameron: Realism on Trial (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781316512746)

Justin Steinberg's field-defining work on Boccaccio's Decameron shows how historical changes in the prosecution of crime profoundly influenced literary realism. Arguing that the Decameron's trials respond to a crisis in verisimilitude, the book engages scholars and students of medieval and early modern studies, literary theory and legal history.
