The Decameron is a remarkable work of Renaissance literature, comprised of one hundred short novels in ten books. This superb edition contains every story in English, and is unabridged. The Decameron marked the emergence of new literature after centuries of relative quiet, as the Italian Renaissance got underway. At the time of composing the text, Boccaccio was already well-versed in many ancient myths and legends, together with folk stories which had long been part of the oral tradition in Europe. First published around 1353, this text was conceived as a single long narrative set within a country house. This frame story sees ten people - seven women and three men - sheltering from the epidemic of the Black Death: a pandemic disease which at the time was ravaging Europe. To pass the time and forget about the grim and deathly realities of the plague, they take turns to tell one another stories. The compendium Boccaccio put together is one of formidable and impressive variation. Divided into ten books, which are in turn divided into ten short novels each, we hear tales of erotic romance; of calamitous tragedy; of chivalric valiance; of raucous comedy filled with witty asides and jokes; and morality tales which teach memorable lessons on living. Together with its literary value as an undoubted masterpiece of the early Renaissance in Italy, The Decameron includes many details of everyday life and customs in the 14th century. Its wording reflects the variety of slang and expressions spoken by Italian people of the era. Given that it was composed in a time of great superstition, there have been various numerological and mystical interpretations of the Decameron's text. This edition is complete, with no omissions or abridgement of the text. It includes the Epilogue written by Boccaccio, and a full table of contents for ease of reference. The English text is derived from the authoritative translation of 1886 by John Payne which has itself been praised for its faith to the original Florentine dialect in which Boccaccio wrote The Decameron.

The Decameron, also called Prince Galehaut, is a 14th-century medieval allegory by Giovanni Boccaccio, told as a frame story encompassing 100 tales by ten young people. The book's primary title exemplifies Boccaccio's fondness for Greek philology: Decameron combines two Greek words, Greek: dÈka ("ten") and (Greek: hemÈra ("day"), to form a term that means "ten-day event". Ten days is the time period in which the characters of the frame story tell their tales.

Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375) was an Italian author and poet, a friend and correspondent of Petrarch, and an important Renaissance humanist in his own right and author of a number of notable works including: On Famous Women: The Decameron and his poetry in the vernacular. Boccaccio's characters are notable for their era in that they are realistic, spirited and clever individuals who are grounded in reality. It is believed he was tutored by Giovanni Mazzuoli and received from him an early introduction to the works of Dante. In Naples, he began what he considered his true vocation, poetry. Works produced in this period include: Filostrato, Teseida, Filocolo a prose version of an existing French romance, and La Caccia di Diana a poem in octave rhyme listing Neapolitan women. He began work on The Decameron of Giovanni Boccaccio around 1349. The work was largely complete by 1352 and it was Boccaccio's final effort in literature and one of his last works in Italian. Amongst his other works are La Fiammetta, Life of Dante and A Story of Ravenna.
