After Boccaccio returned to Florence in 1340, he witnessed the outbreak of the great plague, or Black Death, in 1348. This provided the setting for his most famous work, the vernacular prose masterpiece Il Decamerone (Decameron) (1353). This collection of 100 short stories, told by 10 Florentines who leave plague-infected Florence for the neighboring hill town of Fiesole, is clear evidence of the beginning of the Renaissance in Italy. The highly finished work exerted a tremendous influence on Chaucer, Shakespeare, Dryden, Keats, and Tennyson even as it established itself as the great classic of Italian fictional prose. Although Chaucer did not mention Boccaccio's name, his Canterbury Tales are clearly modeled on the Decameron. Boccaccio's other important works are a short life of Dante and commentaries on the Divine Comedy; Filocolo (1340) a prose romance; Filostrato (1335), a poem on Troilus and Cressida; and Theseus (1340-41), a poem dealing with the story of Theseus, Palamon, and Arcite. Boccassio's only attempt at writing an epic was a work that Chaucer rendered as his "Knight's Tale." Boccaccio's last work written in Italian was the gloomy, cautionary tale titled The Corbaccio (1355). The Nymph Song (1346), as a counterpiece for the Decameron, demonstrates that it is possible to read the Decameron as an allegory, with the plague representing the spiritual plague of medieval Christianity, viewed from the vantage point of Renaissance humanism. Many of the Decameron tales are indeed paganized versions of medieval sermons about sin and damnation with the morals reversed. After 1363 Boccaccio concentrated on trying to gain enduring fame by writing, in Latin, a series of lives of memorable men and women and a genealogy of the pagan gods. Boccaccio died in 1375.

En buket vovede, sjove og provokerende fortællinger fra renæssancens pesthærgede Italien
Boccaccio (1313 - 1375) er den yngste af de tre store italienske forfattere fra 1300-tallet - Dante og Petrarca er de to andre. Af de tre store forfattere er Boccaccio den mest verdslige. Han regnes for novellekunstens fader.
I bogen, der består af 100 vovede noveller, fortæller Boccaccio om købmandsskab og begærlighed, dyder og laster, kærlighed og utæmmet begær. Ofte gør han grin med kirkens folk. Fælles for novellerne er, at den kloge altid narrer den mindre kloge.
Alle samfundsklasser beskrives i Dekameron, men der langes især ud efter nonner og munke, og deres vilde sexliv er et yndlingstema. Der dukker dog også konger og vagabonder op, elskovssyge bondekoner og villige ungersvende - utro hustruer. Der er også fromme fortællinger, f.eks. om den tålmodige Griselda, der udholder sin sadistiske ægtemands pinsler uden at klage. Og så er der den om manden, som slipper af sted med at være sammen med en anden mands kone under et æbletræ, selv om ægtemanden sidder oppe i træet og ser på dem. Den opfindsomme skurk har nemlig fået overbevist ægtemanden om, at æbletræet er fortryllet, og man derfor ser syner, når man sidder oppe i det.
Baggrunden for bogens tilblivelse er, at Italien i 1348 ramtes af pesten. Boccaccio mistede sine forældre og mange af sine venner. Midt i Firenzes pestmareridt sætter han en gruppe ædle, unge, smukke mænd og kvinder sammen for at fortælle os historier med moraler. Jeannet Ulrikkeholm fortæller i løbet af dette foredrag om den store klassiker, der på grund af de saftige historier hurtigt kom på listen over de forbudte bøger: Index librorum prohibitorum.

| | Awards and honors | | | Agents | | | Short biography | Giovanni Boccaccio was an Italian writer, poet, correspondent of Petrarch, and an important Renaissance humanist. Boccaccio wrote a number of notable works, including The Decameron and On Famous Women. He wrote his imaginative literature mostly in Tuscan vernacular, as well as other works in Latin, and is particularly noted for his realistic dialogue which differed from that of his contemporaries, medieval writers who usually followed formulaic models for character and plot.  | |
