As fans of the \u003ci\u003eDecameron\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Sherberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 148750747X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487507473\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.30w x 1.00d","brand":"Michael Sherberg","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43983359836415,"sku":"9781487507473","price":78.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aa5c406e-f1d7-4e6e-bfb3-65fa0973185f.jpg?v=1683266176","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-decameron-fourth-day-in-michael-sherberg-9781487507473","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
