Cultural Politics in Fifteenth-Century England: The Case of Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester de Alessandra Petrina

Cultural Politics in Fifteenth-Century England: The Case of Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester: Brill's Studies in Intellectual History, cartea 124

Autor Alessandra Petrina
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 feb 2004
This volume is an analysis of the development of cultural politics in Lancastrian England. It focusses on Duke Humphrey of Gloucester, brother of Henry V and Protector of England during Henry VI's minority. Humphrey's intellectual activity conformed itself to the Duke's own position in the kingdom: the book explores Humphrey's commission of biographies, translations of Latin texts, political pamphlets and poems, as well as his collection of manuscripts acquired both in England and from Italian humanists. Particular attention is dedicated to Humphrey's donations to the University of Oxford and to his relations with English poets and translators, such as John Lydgate and Thomas Hoccleve, highlighting his contribution towards the making of the nation's cultural autonomy.

Recenzii

"In breaking down the the barriers between disciplines, scholarship has chosen a route that is arduous, but rewarding, as Cultural Politics demonstrates. In constructing an integrated approach to Humfrey's political and cultural aspirations, there could hardly be a better starting-point that Alessandra Petrina's volume.†"
David Rundle, English Historical Review, 2005.

"Rather than an overzealous, proud, and pompous prince, Humphrey begins to emerge as a more thoughtful and consistent politician and patron.. Petrina has, therefore, drawn from the complex web of Humprey’s life and intrigues a sophisticated appreciation of his role in English cultural politics; it is an important and overdue assessment."
Kenneth Bartlett, Renaissance Quarterly.

"...Petrina offers a fine overview of the English cultural scene in this work of scholarship. ... excellent bibliography."
A.C. Reeves, Choice, 2004.
