-Oxford University Press, 2001-. Reprint. x+354 pages with index. Traditional blue cloth, gilt. Fine no dustjacket. Although "The Decameron" and "The Canterbury Tales" have often been linked, this study examines them beyond shared general similarities and looks at the search for individual analogue or source material, which has proved so inconclusive. It examines the texts and their internal dynamics primarily as a whole and reveals many surprising similarities which have hitherto remained unnoticed. The two collections are examined in the light of their literary diversity, their shape as a form of quodlibet debate, their discussion of literature and its autonomy using the oppositions of utile diletto, "sentence" and "solaas", and the specific way that individual narratives are treated so as to create a labyrinthine web for the reader to both negotiate and enjoy.

ISBN10: 0198123787, ISBN13: 9780198123781, [publisher: Oxford University Press, Oxford] Hardcover Hardcover. AlthoughThe Decameron and The Canterbury Tales have often been linked, this is the first ever major study of the two most popular collections of medieval framed narratives to examine them both beyond shared general similarities and also to look at the search for individual analogue or source material, which has proved so inconclusive. Thus, the present study examines the texts and their internal dynamics primarily as a whole and reveals many surprisingsimilarities which have hitherto remained unnoticed. The two collections are examined in the light of their literary diversity, their shape as a form of quodlibet debate, their discussion of literature and itsautonomy using the oppositions of utile diletto and 'sentence' 'solaas', and the specific way that individual narratives are treated so as to create a labyrinthine web for the reader to both negotiate and enjoy. This is the first ever major study to explore links between the two most popular collections of medieval narrative. By examining the Decameron and the Canterbury Tales as a whole, the author reveals many surprising similarities which have hitherto remained unnoticed, from the way they discuss fiction to their treatment of it.
