About This Book

A small court of young men vows to sequester themselves to study and renounce women for a fixed term, but their strict regimen collapses when a visiting party of women arrives, prompting flirtation, witty debate, disguises, and comic subplots featuring a pompous braggart and pedantic wordplay. The action alternates light-hearted banter, clever linguistic games, and staged entertainments, then concludes on a sober note when serious news interrupts the revelry and forces the postponement of promised festivities and unions, leaving resolutions delayed rather than neatly tied.
