Olivia Homes shows how the Decameron responds to classical and medieval didactic traditions through its mischievous contents. The study will appeal to scholars of Italian literature and medieval studies, as well as to readers interested in the advent of the short story, modern narrative realism and evolutionary understandings of storytelling.
