Sills-111 - Close readings of three cornerstones of the Italian literary canon, Dante's Vita Nuova, Boccaccio's Decameron, and Petrarch's Canzoniere, situating them within both literary and larger historical trends. All three authors assembled collections of their own texts-poems in the case of Dante and Petrarch, short stories in the case of Boccaccio-in the century following the emergence of written Italian, while seeking to establish not only their own autobiographical authenticity as desiring subjects, but also the authority of the newly-emerged genre of the vernacular book. Conducted in Italian.
