Description:Excerpt from Boccaccio and His Imitators: In German, English, French, Spanish, and Italian Literature; "The Decameron" The following list of the imitations of the tales found in the Decameron is designed to give to the student of comparative literature some idea of the extent to which the novels of Boccaccio were used by later writers as material to be worked over into poems, dramas, and operas. These imita tions are arranged chronologically and are grouped by countries. Germany is placed first as leading all the other countries of Europe in its adapta tions of Boccaccio's stories. England comes next, and then the three Latin countries. In this list are included all the prose or poetical narratives or dramas which are commonly called imitations of Boccaccio. No attempt is made to discuss the sources of these stories, nor to settle disputed questions, such as whether an author imitated Boccaccio himself or some imitator of Boccaccio. It is enough that the plot in all its main features agrees with the Decameron story which was directly or indirectly its source.
