In this study, Tobias Foster Gittes argues that Boccaccio did not simply reproduce Golden Age schemes in his works, but rather subtly altered and adapted them to produce a model of human beatitude more suited to his conviction that cultural achievement and human dignity are indissolubly linked."--Jacket. 410 0$aToronto Italian studies. 606 $aEros (Greek deity) in literature 606 $aMyth in literature 606 $aCulture in literature 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEros (Greek deity) in literature. 615 0$aMyth in literature. 615 0$aCulture in literature. 676 $a858/.109 700 $aGittes$b Tobias Foster$01689825 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809592703321 996 $aBoccaccio's naked muse$94065163 997 $aUNINA
