"This book analyses the role that storytelling plays in providing fictional women with "honest enjoyment" in Boccaccio's Decameron. As three men join the women in their search for entertainment through storytelling, challenges to their virtue inside and outside the narration enable subversive readings of Boccaccio's world and culture" --
