"A magisterial, deeply learned, and meticulously researched study that brings together Boccaccio's political, social, and literary worlds in unique ways." --William P. Caferro, Gertrude Conaway Vanderbilt Professor of History, Vanderbilt University "Pleasantly detailed and compellingly rigorous, Elsa Filosa's new book is an invaluable historical gateway into Boccaccio's life and works. Reconstructing for today's readers the context of his writings, including some among the most beloved stories in the Decameron , it contains a salutary reminder of how much history lies behind their brilliant surface, hidden in plain sight." --Simone Marchesi, Associate Professor of Italian, Princeton University "Elsa Filosa's book is actually two books in one. It is both an archivally based reconstruction of a relatively little-known moment in Florentine history whose impact on Boccaccio was determining, and a re-reading of several of the novelliere's works in light of these new historical discoveries." --Zygmunt G. Baranski, Serena Professor of Italian Emeritus, University of Cambridge
