Las jornadas de Griselda: "Imitatio y cornice" de Boccaccio a Timoneda.

Published: Dicenda: Estudios de lengua y literatura españolas 37 (2019): 363-76.

Description: Compares versions of the Griselda story: Boccaccio's original; Petrarch's translation; and other rewritings by Bernat Metge, Christine de Pizan, and Chaucer (ClT), as well as the Spanish story in "Castigos y doctrinas que un sabio daba a sus hijas" and in Joan de Timoneda's "Patrañuelo." Studies the narrative frame (or cornice) to reveal how the narrative, once viewed as a "universal paragon of behavior," is modified for early "housewife manuals" and eventually ends up functioning as reading entertainment in the early modern period.
