Identifying specific examples of fabliaux transformed by Boccaccio for his classic Decameron, Brown shows how Boccaccio refashioned borrowed literary themes and devices, playing with endless possibilities of literary creation through manipulations of his model texts.
Short works known for their humour and ribaldry, the fabliaux were comic or satirical tales told by wandering minstrels in medieval France. This new and provocative interpretation examines the formal similarities between the Decameron's tale of wit, wisdom and practical jokes and the popular 13th-century fabliaux.
