Campbell Emma. Sexual poetics and the politics of translation in the tale of Griselda

Comparative Literature. Eugene: Summer 2003. Vol. 55, Iss. 3; pg. 24Campbell claims that writer Francis Petrarch's description to Giovanni Boccaccio of the latter's translation of the story of Griselda invites a number of questions concerning the relationships that medieval writers forge between readers, authors, and texts. She further attempts to respond and to develop some of these questions within the context of modern theories of translation and textuality.
