Overview

“Il Corbaccio” is a satirical work by Giovanni Boccaccio, likely written between 1355 and 1365. This allegorical tale presents a harsh and unflattering portrayal of women. The narrator, initially enamored with a widow, is dissuaded by a ghostly figure, who delivers a scathing critique of female nature. Boccaccioâ€(TM)s sharp wit and vivid language create a memorable, if controversial, exploration of misogyny. While the views expressed are products of their time, “Il Corbaccio” remains a significant work in Italian literature, offering insights into the social attitudes of the 14th century and Boccaccio's complex views on love and society. A classic for scholars and readers interested in understanding the Italian Renaissance.
