The Ideology of Burgundy: The Promotion of National Consciousness, 1364-1565: Brill's Studies in Intellectual History, cartea 145

Editat de Jonathan Boulton, Jan Veenstra
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 aug 2006
This book is a collection of eight essays on the ideology of Burgundy, dealing with the body of ideas, images, institutions and narrative fictions produced at the behest of the Valois dukes to create and maintain their incipient domanial state in the period from roughly 1364 to the 1560s. Nation building requires an ideological framework and the successive dukes, their officers and their court intellectuals all contributed to a self-determinative image of Burgundy which became visible in their literature, in their quest for a regal title, in the foundation of the Order of the Golden Fleece and in their propaganda. The essays approach the themes of the collection from the perspective of several disciplines, and together present a well-rounded picture of Burgundian nation-building.

Contributors include: D’A.J.D. Boulton, Jan Dumolyn, Malte Prietzel, Graeme Small, Robert Stein, Bernhard Sterchi, Jan R. Veenstra, and David J. Wrisley.

Recenzii

"In this volume, eight experts take up a question first explored by Johan Huizinga in 1912: were there motifs and symbols of unity in the late medieval Burgundian Netherlands that overrode the tug of particularism? The authors tackle two centuries, but anchor their investigation in the fifteenth century, where they locate a number of intellectual and cultural developments launched or patronized by the Valois dukes in an attempt to centralize their authority and gild it with royal status. (…) The Ideology of Burgundy is part of a remarkable stream of publications over the last decade that have explored the cultural politics of the Burgundian Netherlands. The eight essays are deeply researched, rich in argument and evidence, and goldmines for experts seeking a deeper understanding of how political identities were forged in this notoriously diverse set of territories by a cadet branch of the French monarchy."
Peter Arnade, California State University, San Marcos, Renaissance Querterly

"[..] this collection offers much of interest and importance."
