Told from the perspective of Fiammetta, a Florentine noblewoman consumed by love and abandonment, Amorous Fiammetta is a groundbreaking psychological novel of the 14th century. With intimate emotional insight, it charts the unraveling of a woman caught between desire and despair, as she reflects on her affair and its devastating aftermath. Rich in lyrical prose and early humanist themes, this work reveals Boccaccio's gift for exploring the depths of romantic and personal experience.
Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375) was an Italian author and poet, a friend, student, and correspondent of Petrarch, and important Renaissance humanist, best known for the Decameron. Amourous Fiammetta, or The Elegy of Lady Fiammetta describes Fiammetta's passion for Panfilo, a Florentine merchant, and has been described as the first psychological novel in Western literature.
