Make the fears, concerns, and desires of the Middle Ages yours through the stories of the “honest brigade” and their ten days of isolation against one of the worst pandemics of the last millennium. Join us in the close reading and discussion of selected stories from one of the best literary guides to the dangers and challenges of our days.
In this course we will read and discuss Giovanni Boccaccio’s Decameron (ca. 1353), we will learn about the culture that originated it, and we will make meaningful connections with today’s world as well. During our fictional stay in the company of the “honest brigade” during the black plague in Florence, we will look at their stories as evidence of erotic, religious, ethnic, and cultural questions vital to understanding medieval Europe (and us). We will also investigate the sensual exuberance of Boccaccio’s tales and the tension between “high” and “low” culture and consider the development of the bourgeoisie and its emerging virtues of wit and self-reliance. We will also review the book’s long-lasting fortune and its adaptation into different old and new media, from manuscript culture to the world of cinema and the performing arts.
