Condition: Gut. XVI, 255 Seiten / p. Sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - Giovanni Boccaccio is one of the most influential writers in the western tradition, yet his first literary work, Diana's Hunt, has never been translated into English, and the Italian text has long been out of print. Anthony K. Cassell and Victoria Kirkham redeem Boccaccio's early effort in this duallanguage edition, with an extensive introduction and commentary, that goes far beyond assuring its accessibility. -- The plot of Diana's Hunt is simple enough: the narrator observes the goddess Diana convening a band of Neapolitan court ladies to hunt in a wood. After slaying an impressive number of beasts, the huntresses are incited to rebellion against Diana by the fairest of their number. They invoke the goddess Venus, who transforms the beasts into young men ready to be faithful to her. As a final twist, the narrator himself, who we now learn was actually a stag all along, undergoes a similar transformation and is offered to the fairest lady. -- Cassell and Kirkham have revised the Italian text of Caccia di Diana, drawing from the six extant manuscripts of the original work. Their critical interpretation of the poem redefines the ground on which we evalute the merits of Diana's Hunt and points to ways in which it looks forward to Boccaccio's later work. The poem emerges as an allegory of the struggle in the soul before Christian baptism and entrance into the active life of virtue. This theme will be central in the early fictions, such as the Filocolo and Ameto, and will be parodied and reversed in the later Elegy of Madonna Fiammetta and Corbaccio. -- The editors offer a readable translation, extensive notes, and a glossary of female historical characters that will prove invaluable to students and scholars of medieval and Renaissance literature, women's studies, and art history.
