Giovanni Boccaccio: The Elegy of Madonna Fiammetta Sent by Her to Women in Love (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu
Reviews
Description
"The Elegy of Madonna Fiammetta" is narrated by a woman who recounts her love affair with a young man she calls Panfilo and his betrayal of her. Medieval works depict courtly love as a disease suffered by upper-class men; the "Elegy" depicts the process of falling in love from the woman's point of view. It is important both in its own right as a literary work and because of its authorial feminism; Boccaccio makes us appreciate both the folly of the narrator and the treachery of Panfilo and (by extension) of all men. In addition, it is a precursor of the psychological and epistolary novels and is of importance in the history of prose fiction.
