Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the ways in which the introduction of Italian novellas influenced the development of English prose fiction during the Elizabethan era. Arguing that Italian influence in the genre began with the publication of Lucres, an English translation of Eneas Sylvius Piccolomini's De Duobus Amantibus, the author discusses the significant ways in which the work differs from its Italian source and the significance of these variations. They argue that the English translation not only establishes the popularity of the Italian novella in England but also marks a departure from conventions around plot, character, and setting that would continue to shape the genre in England. The author examines the use of epistolary form, the development of character types, and the inclusion of realistic detail as points of distinction between the Italian and English versions of the text. By considering the ways in which this early example influenced later works such as Painter's The Palace of Pleasure and Fenton's Tragicall Discourses, the book reveals the importance of Italian influence on the development of English prose fiction and provides a thorough examination of the major themes, characters, and stylistic elements that would go on to define the genre in England.
