Histoire littéraire d'Italie (3/9) by Pierre Louis Ginguené
"Histoire littéraire d'Italie (3/9)" by Pierre Louis Ginguené is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The book delves into the literary history of Italy, focusing on significant authors and their contributions to the country's literary landscape. The opening portion specifically discusses the life and works of Giovanni Boccaccio, shedding light on his poetic genius and his enduring impact on Italian literature. The beginning of the work provides an overviewof Boccaccio's early life, his father's aspirations for him to pursue a career in commerce, and his eventual turn towards literature and poetry. Born in Paris and raised in Florence, Boccaccio's passion for the arts emerged despite his father's efforts to steer him into a mercantile path. As the narrative unfolds, it describes significant moments that shaped his literary journey, including his admiration for classical poets and his fervent love for the princess Marie, which inspired many of his works. The text sets the stage for a detailed exploration of Boccaccio's major texts, particularly his notable contributions to both poetry and prose. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
