The Decameron in Western Literature
Morris Karp and Francesca Zambon interview Brown University faculty members Ronald Martinez and Massimo Riva on the renewed interest in Boccaccio’s Decameron in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, the historical parallels between the 14th century and the present time, the experience of isolation and love and what it reveals about social privileges and inequities, and the relation between the Decameron’s framing story and the collected novellas.

The Timeless Wisdom of Dante, Boccaccio, and Petrarch: Unveiling Their Literary Legacies
Alright, let's talk about this rockstar poet Dante Alighieri and his mind-blowing masterpiece, The Divine Comedy. Born in 1265 in Florence, Italy, Dante came from a pretty decent family. But life threw him some curveballs early on—his mom passed away when he was just a kid, and his dad remarried and had more kids. Talk about family drama!

Man: King of Mind, Body, and Circumstance by James Allen (remastered)
The problem of life consists in learning how to live. It is like the problem of addition or subtraction to the schoolboy. When mastered, all difficulty disappears, and the problem has vanished. All the problems of life, whether they be social, political, or religious, subsist in ignorance and wrong-living. As they are solved in the heart of each individual, they will be solved in the mass of men. Humanity at present is in the painful stage of “learning.” It is confronted with the difficulties of its own ignorance. As men learn to live rightly, learn to direct their forces and use their functions and faculties by the light of wisdom, the sum of life will be correctly done, and its mastery will put an end to all the “problems of evil.” To the wise, all such problems have ceased.

This work relates the history of the Medici family through three centuries and eleven generations, from its rise from obscurity, to its zenith of power and influence, to its eventual decay and ruin. It outlines their history in conjunction with the major events of Europe and dwells much on the artists and artworks patronized by the Medici - the impetus of the Renaissance. This first volume brings to life the Renaissance and how Florence, through the Medici, was the epicentre of the movement that spread new learning throughout Europe. It describes some of the best and worst of the Medici, including statesmen both good and bad, popes and their intrigues, joyous festivals and tragic assassinations. (Summary by TriciaG)

This video discusses the theme of Humanism and its role in the Italian Renaissance Era
Books:
-Francesco Petrarch. The Essential Petrarch, Edited and Translated, with an Introduction, by P. Hainsworth. Indianapolis/Cambridge: Hacket, 2010
-Giovanni Boccaccio. The Decameron, Trans. and Ed. by G. H. McWilliam. London: Penguin, 1972
-Niccolò Machiavelli. The Prince, Trans. and Ed. by David Wootton. Indianapolis: Hackett, 1995
Many of the Italian Renaissance literature’s exhibited the theme of humanism. Humanism is most commonly applied to the cultural movement in Renaissance Europe characterized by a revival of Classical letters, an individualistic and critical spirit, and a shift of emphasis from religious to secular concerns of the human agent. Petrarch’s Secretum, Boccaccio’s Decameron, & Machiavelli’s The Prince, all demonstrate how humanism took its form in Italian Renaissance Literature.
Dialogue from Secretum between: St. Augustine and Franciscus
Augustine: First then, as Cicero says, “there are those who “think that an old love is to be expelled by a new love just as one nail hammers out another… If your attention is dispersed and spread over many things, then it is directed to each individual one in a less energetic way. It is recounted that the Ganges was split into countless channels by a Persian king and thus changed from one fearsome flood into many insignificant streams.
Franciscus: … I can have no other object for my love. My inner being is addicted to admiring her, my eyes to gazing at her, and what is not her they find depressing and dismal. Thus if you ask me to love another in order to be free of love, you are setting me an impossible condition. It is all over. I am done for.
Augustine: Your senses are dulled, your will sluggish. So since you have no inner resources, we shall have to apply external remedies. Can you induce yourself to take flight or go into exile, and live without the sight of the places you know so well?
Franciscus: I can, though the hooks that pull me back are very deeply attached.
Augustine: If you can do this you will be saved – “Alas, flee the loved lands, flee the loved shore.” For how can you ever be safe here, where there are so many traces of the wounds inflicted on you, where you are afflicted both by what you can see now and by your memories of the past? As Cicero says, “like the chronically ill, you must be treated by a change of place.”
Franciscus: Please be careful, I beg you, with what you prescribe. How many times, in my eagerness to be cured and in full awareness of this doctorly advice, have I tried running away! Though I pretended to myself that there were various reasons, the one purpose of all my journeying and rural escapes was to find freedom. In its pursuit I have circled far and wide, gone westward and northward, as far as the edge of the Great Ocean. You can see what good it has done me! A Virgilian simile has often touched my heart… “ Like a doe pierced by an arrow, a rash beast struck from afar amid the Cretan woods, by a shepherd hunting. He unaware left the winged dart in her, and she in flight traverses the woods and the glades of Crete, with the death-dealing shaft fixed in her flank.” … I am rather like that doe. I have run away, but I carry what harms me with me everywhere.
Augustine: In your case, you must first of all put on one side this longstanding burden of obsessions and prepare your inner self for the journey. Then you must finally make your escape. For it is an established fact, regarding no just the body but the mind and heart too, that the measures taken are ineffective unless the patient is ready to cooperate.
Franciscus: Now I am wonderfully perplexed. You present me with lessons for curing and healing my heart and mind, and tell me that the curing and healing must take place before any eventual escape. Yet we are debating precisely about how this curing is to occur. If it has already happened, what else is required? If it has not, given that changing place does not help, as you yourself assert, you must tell me more explicitly what treatments are to be used.
Augustine: I did not speak of curing and healing but of preparation. Anyway, either your mind and heart will be cured, in which case changing places will make your healthy state continue, or you will not yet be cured, but you will be prepared and can achieve such a state yourself. On the other hand, if neither of these is the case, what twill these changes, this rushing from one place to another, achieve beyond and exacerbation of your condition? I shall continue to call Horace as witness. He says, “Reason and prudence take away our cares, not some spot dominating the open sea.”
Humanism in Italian Renaissance could be seen as the pivotal moment in history where humans started truly breaking away from the church and used free-will and reason to decide their actions.

It's a very mixed bag, designed to appeal 'to young people.' (Summary by Steven Seitel)

The problem of life consists in learning how to live. It is like the problem of addition or subtraction to the schoolboy. When mastered, all difficulty disappears, and the problem has vanished. All the problems of life, whether they be social, political, or religious, subsist in ignorance and wrong-living. As they are solved in the heart of each individual, they will be solved in the mass of men. Humanity at present is in the painful stage of “learning.” It is confronted with the difficulties of its own ignorance. As men learn to live rightly, learn to direct their forces and use their functions and faculties by the light of wisdom, the sum of life will be correctly done, and its mastery will put an end to all the “problems of evil.” To the wise, all such problems have ceased.
