Description
Excerpt from Matteo Bandello: Twelve Stories Selected and Done Into English With a Memoir of the Author
An interesting sign of Bandello''s effort to draw character may be found in the Don Diego story, where the stubborn Ginevra fills the whole canvas and controls the entire action of the tale, until her amazing obstinacy disappears at the sudden percep tion of her despondent lover''s unswerving fidelity. But this is a solitary instance. In most of the stories the characters are shadowy, pulseless figures, without magnetism, without life.
