Epilogue
View through CrossRef
The epilogue looks at how Boccaccio appropriates the tragic figure of Francesca, the theme of the lyric addressee, and the example of Dante’s Vita Nuova to forge a quasi-exclusive female audience for his vernacular work. The combination of love and reading reaches with Boccaccio its utmost productivity, and it is turned into an actual, erotic love triangle between the poet, the beloved, and the animated ‘little book’ that joins them.
