In the first part, Symonds explores Boccaccio's early life, his education, and his career as a writer, including his relationships with other writers and artists of his time. The book also delves into Boccaccio's personal life, including his relationships with women and his political views. In the second part, Symonds examines Boccaccio's literary works, including his most famous work, The Decameron. Symonds provides an in-depth analysis of Boccaccio's writing style, themes, and influences, as well as the historical and cultural context in which he wrote. Overall, Giovanni Boccaccio: As Man and Author is a comprehensive and insightful look at one of Italy's most important writers, providing readers with a deeper understanding of Boccaccio's life and works.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
