The Novella as an Alternative to Fishing in Girolamo Parabosco’s Diporti (XVI c.)
Keywords:
novellas, collections, narrative frames, Late Renaissance, Italy
Abstract
The article analyses a little-explored collection of short stories – novellas – by the sixteenth-century Italian novelist Girolamo Parabosco. The argument is developed that in Diporti several innovative features occur for the first time. While following the structure of Boccaccio’s frame novel, the text refrains from imposing a common theme and digresses into several alternative genres, such as discussions, poetry, comment.
