Abstract
Luigi Surdich is primarily known for his two excellent books on Boccaccio (La cornice di amore, ETS, 1987 and Boccaccio, Laterza, 2001). His II Duecento e il Trecento has ten chapters, a short bibliography (169-72), a chronology, and an index. This book forms part of a new series for undergraduate Italian students, whose aim is not a "summa of the entire history of [Italian] literature" but rather "agile, autonomous little volumes" devoted to either one or two centuries (5). For clarity's sake, certain key phrases in the book are put into bold-face type; they stand out from the rest of the text and render its plain prose more exciting.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
