How to order this book
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.
Readership:
Scholars
and students (at undergraduate and postgraduate levels) of medieval
literature,
and the uses of narrative and fiction.
