Recenzii
With its attention both to close detail and to wider implications, Margolis' monograph is an unquestionable success.
This is a fascinating study of René of Anjou, an exiled ruler without a kingdom. Utilizing network analysis to excellent effect, Margolis has written a sophisticated study of René's development of Italian networks, all designed to help him return to power. Margolis demonstrates how such cultural products as illuminated manuscripts and Latin orations functioned as the means of cultural diplomacy between members of what he terms the 'hyper-literate' elite. Communication is thus seen to transcend the literary objects upon which it is based, allowing a heightened communication with real political intent. This is a sophisticated and subtle study of the politics of Angevin cultural networks.
[a] detailed and meticulously researched study
The Politics of Culture in Quattrocento Europe: René of Anjou in Italy is a well-written and impressively researched book in which long-standing views of Renaissance cultural politics and diplomacy are re-examined from a new perspective, while René of Anjou himself emerges from this work as a talented, flawed, and often unlucky man whose quest for his lost crown created a network of influence that had a lasting impact in Quattrocento Europe.
Margolis' engaging book will interest a wide range of scholars as it skilfully blends diplomacy and cultural history with a close study of artworks and humanist texts.
it is this more serious, more political René that Margolis highlights in this important corrective to French and English stereotypes ... This is a book which brings out a very different René from the nostalgic dreamer whose image was promoted by, say, a Huizinga: René is, ultimately, a failure, but those courtly pretensions are intended not simply for decorative purposes, but for political ones: it is an image which, as scholars of chivalric society at the end of the Middle Ages, we need to absorb.
a rich and inspiring book ... [Margolis] propagates a new approach to art, literature, and politics, which turns away from any kind of cult of genius and instead puts networks of artists, writers, and patrons and the political significance of their works in the foreground.
