The portrayal of princes plays a central role in the historical literature of the European Renaissance. The sixteen contributions collected in this volume examine such portrayals in a broad variety of historiographical, biographical, and poetic texts. It emerges clearly that historical portrayals were not essentially bound by generic constraints but instead took the form of res gestae or historiae, discrete or collective biographies, panegyric, mirrors for princes, epic poetry, orations, even commonplace books – whatever the occasion called for. Beyond questions of genre, the chapters focus on narrative strategies and the transformation of ancient, medieval, and contemporary authors, as well as on the influence of political, cultural, intellectual, and social contexts. Four broad thematic foci inform the structure of this book: the virtues ascribed to the prince, the cultural and political pretensions inscribed in literary portraits, the historical and literary models on which these portraits were based, and the method that underlay them. The volume is rounded out by a critical summary that considers the portrayal of princes in humanist historiogrpahy from the point of view of transformation theory.

In the century before Chaucer a new language of political critique emerged. In political verse of the period, composed in Anglo-Latin, Anglo-Norman, and Middle English, poets write as if addressing the king himself, drawing on their sense of the rights granted by Magna Carta. These apparent appeals to the sovereign increase with the development of parliament in the late thirteenth century and the emergence of the common petition, and become prominent, in an increasingly sophisticated literature, during the political crises of the early fourteenth century. However, very little of this writing was truly directed to the king. As David Matthews shows in this book, the form of address was a rhetorical stance revealing much about the position from which writers were composing, the audiences they wished to reach, and their construction of political and national subjects.

La nature et la fonction de la royauté dans l'Etat sont des questions qui traversent tous les grands débats de société en Angleterre, Le présent volume étudie les représentations de la royauté anglaise, de la Renaissance à la fin-du XVIIe siècle. Shakespeare place la crise de la royauté au cœur de ses deux tétralogies historiques qui brossent une vaste fresque de l'histoire nationale. À récrire l'histoire pour la rendre plus spectaculaire encore, il donne au drame de la déposition du roi une dimension personnelle, religieuse et politique. Il dépeint la constitution d'une identité nationale acquise au prix de la sueur, du sang et des larmes. Le jugement, la condamnation et l'exécution du roi Charles Ier signent la fin de la vision élisabéthaine du monde. La royauté cesse de faire question. Elle n'est plus affaire de croyance mais de convenance. Les rois qui règneront désormais gouverneront de moins en moins.
