On consignment for Forum for Renæssancestudier

The word ”novella” came into use in Tuscany in the 14th century for a particular type of literary texts, and the genre of the short story has taken many different directions. The work that has both named the genre of the short story and defined a standard for the manner in which short stories should be written is Giovanni Boccaccio’s Decameron. Yet even before Decameron collections of similar texts have existed, such as the anonymous collection of tales known under the title Il Novellino. In Novellegenrens fødsel Anders Toftgaard traces the development of the literary genre of the short story in 14th century Italy and subsequently offers a definition of the short story as it appears in Decameron useful for the pursuit of similar types of texts in Antiquity.
