| This edition presents 33 of the 100 tales, with at least two from each of the ten days of storytelling. Boccaccioâ s general introduction and conclusion to the work are also included, as are the introduction and conclusion to the first day; the reader is thus provided with a real sense of the Decameronâ s framing narrative. Extensive explanatory notes are provided, and the volume is prefaced by a concise but wide-ranging introduction to Boccaccioâ s life and times, as well as to the Decameron itself. A unique selection of contextual materials concludes the volume. |
