Abstract

The Epistolary Art of Catherine the Great is the first study to analyse comprehensively the letters of Empress Catherine the Great of Russia (reigned 1762-1796) and to argue that they constitute a masterpiece of eighteenth-century epistolary writing. In this book, Kelsey Rubin-Detlev traces Catherine’s development as a letter-writer, her networking strategies, and her image-making, demonstrating the centrality of ideas, literary experimentation, and manipulation of material form evident in Catherine’s epistolary practice. Through this, Rubin-Detlev illustrates how Catherine’s letters reveal her full engagement with the Enlightenment and further show how creatively she absorbed and responded to the ideas of her century. The letter was not merely a means by which the empress promoted Russia and its leader as European powers; it was a literary genre through which Catherine expressed her identity as a member of the social, political, and intellectual elite of her century.

Abstract

Katherine of Alexandria was a major object of devotion within medieval Europe, ranking second only to the Virgin Mary in the canon of female saints. Yet despite her undoubted importance, relatively little is known about the significance and function of her cult within the German-speaking territories that stood at the heart of Europe. Anne Simon's study adds a welcome new interdisciplinary perspective to the study of Saint Katherine and the wider ecclesiastical landscape of a medieval Europe poised on the edge of religious change. Taking as a case study the wealthy and politically influential merchant city of Nuremberg, this book draws on a wide variety of textual and visual sources to explore interrelated themes: the shaping of urban space through the cult of Saint Katherine; her role in the moulding and advertising patrician identity and alliances through cultural patronage; and patrician use of the saint to showcase the city's political, economic, cultural and religious importance at the heart of the Holy Roman Empire. Further , the book reveals the construction of exemplarity in Saint Katherine's legend and miracles and their resonance within the context of the city and the Dominican Convent of Saint Katherine, whose nuns came from the same status-aware, confident patrician elite that so loyally supported successive Emperors. Filling a significant gap in current research, the work has much to offer scholars of medieval history, hagiography, art history, German studies, cultural and urban studies. Hence it not only expands our understanding of Saint Katherine's importance in German-speaking territories, but also adds to the picture of her cult in its European perspective

Abstract

Katherina van Alexandrië was in de Middeleeuwen een van de populairste heiligen in de Lage Landen. Volgens de overlevering was zij beeldschoon en buitengewoon intelligent. Zij liet zich dopen toen zij de hogere waarheid van de christelijke leer had ontdekt. Haar argumenten daarvoor overtuigden zelfs vijftig van de geleerdste mannen van die tijd. Uiteindelijk liet keizer Maxentius haar na talloze martelingen onthoofden. De heilige wordt dikwijls afgebeeld met een zwaard in haar ene hand en een boek in de andere. Naast haar staat gewoonlijk een (gebroken) rad en onder de zoom van haar jurk is soms het gekroonde hoofd van de keizer zichtbaar. Een lange tijd onvindbaar handschrift met een Middelnederlandse versie van Katherina’s vita wordt nu voor het eerst uitgegeven met een hertaling in modern Nederlands en uitvoerig commentaar. De inleiding beschrijft de religieuze en literair-historische achtergronden van de tekst.
