We invite proposals for articles about Boccaccio and Women. Comparative and interdisciplinary approaches are welcome.

It is not only about medieval gender studies, but in a broad perspective about debating the role of women in the work of Giovanni Boccaccio:

•  e.g. the female members of the Brigata and the female characters in the Decameron,
• the biographies of famous women in De mulieribus claris,
• women or subjects like Fiammetta/Maria d’Aquino,
• misogyny/love discourse in Corbaccio,
• Biancifiore in Filocolo,
• Emilia in Teseida or
• Cressida in Filostrato,
• the nymphs in La caccia di Diana and Ninfale fiesolano,
• love poetry in the Rime etc.

The texts will be published as a special journal issue of Romanische Studien, a new German reviewed Online-Journal of Romance Studies. Articles may be published in English, German, Italian and any other of the Romance languages.
