El Decameron como viaje de regeneración. Notas sobre su modernidad

  • María Hernández Esteban
Keywords: Decameron, narrative framework, illustration, initiatory journey,

Abstract

In several important manuscripts and in some editions of the Decameron the departure and return journey accomplished by the young gentlmen and ladies of the narrative framework is illustrated with great precision. It is an ordered, controlled and honest journey, in search of the essential nature of man; a project of human life which defends the positive and regenerating function of the escapist literature, advocated by Boccaccio from a surprisingly modern point of view.
