Biography
Born to a Neapolitan middle-class family, Basile was, during his career, a courtier and soldier to various Italian princes, including the
He is chiefly remembered for writing the collection of Neapolitan
He recorded and adapted the tales, believed to have been orally transmitted around
While other collections of stories have included tales that would be termed fairy tales, his work is the first collection in which all the stories fit in that category. [Benedetto Croce, "The Fantastic Accomplishment of Giambattista Basile and His "Tale of Tales",
The style of the stories is heavily Baroque, with many metaphorical usages, [Benedetto Croce, "The Fantastic Accomplishment of Giambattista Basile and His "Tale of Tales", Jack Zipes, ed., "The Great Fairy Tale Tradition: From Straparola and Basile to the Brothers Grimm", p 881, ISBN 0-393-97636-X] such as referring to the dawn as
* "the Sun, like a chief physician, went out to visit the flowers that are sick and languid,"
* "The next morning, as soon as the shades of Night, pursued by the constables of the Sun, had fled the country,"
* "as soon as the Sun with his golden broom had swept away the dirt of the Night from the fields watered by the dawn".
* "as the Night, having aided the robbers, is banished from the sky, and goes about collecting the faggots of twilight"
* "as soon as the Sun opened his bank to deliver the deposit of light to the Creditor of the Day,"This has been interpreted as a satire on Baroque style, but as Basile praised the style, and used it in his other works, it appears to have no ironic intention. [Benedetto Croce, "The Fantastic Accomplishment of Giambattista Basile and His "Tale of Tales", Jack Zipes, ed., "The Great Fairy Tale Tradition: From Straparola and Basile to the Brothers Grimm", p 882, ISBN 0-393-97636-X]
Influence
Although the work fell into some obscurity, as a work in dialect, the
This collection (Basile's Pentamerone) was for a long time the best and richest that had been found by any nation. Not only were the traditions at that time more complete in themselves, but the author had a special talent for collecting them, and besides that an intimate knowledge of the dialect. The stories are told with hardly any break, and the tone, at least in the Neapolitan tales, is perfectly caught . . . . We may therefore look on this collection of fifty tales as the basis of many others; for although it was not so in actual fact, and was indeed not known beyond the country in which it appeared, and was never translated into French, it still has all the importance of a basis, owing to the coherence of its traditions. Two-thirds of them are, so far as their principal incidents are concerned, to be found in Germany, and are current there at this very day. Basile has not allowed himself to make any alteration, scarecely even any addition of importance, and that gives his work a special value.- Wilhelm Grimm
