| Description: | A biography of Giovanni Boccaccio, an Italian Early Renaissance humanist, poet, and scholar best known for his The Decameron and close friendship with Petrarch. Geoffrey Chaucer drew inspiration (totalling over 2,000 whole lines by some critics’ count) from Boccaccio’s Il Filostrato for his own Troilus and Criseyde and from Boccaccio’s Teseida for his “Knight’s Tale” in The Canterbury Tales.

Author Bio for Carswell, Catherine
Catherine Roxburgh Carswell (née Macfarlane; 1879–1946) was a Scottish author, biographer and journalist, now known as one of the few women to take part in the Scottish Renaissance. Her biography of the Scottish poet Robert Burns aroused controversy, but two earlier novels of hers, set in Edwardian Glasgow, were little noticed until their republication by the feminist publishing house Virago in 1987. Her work is now seen as integral to Scottish women's writing of the early 20th century.—Wikipedia
