Charles, king of the Franks, is one of the most remarkable figures ever to rule a European super-state. That is why he is so often called by the French 'Charlemagne', and by the Germans 'Karl der Grosse'. His strength of character was felt to be remarkable from early in his long reign. Warfare and accident, vermin and weather have destroyed much of the evidence for his rule in the twelve centuries since his death, but a remarkable amount still survives.Janet L. Nelson's wonderful new book brings together everything we know about Charlemagne and sifts through the evidence to come as close as we can to understanding the man and his motives. Nelson has an extraordinary knowledge of the sources and much of the book is a sort of detective story, prying into and interpreting fascinating material and often obdurate scraps, from prayerbooks to skeletons, gossip to artwork.Above all, Charles's legacy lies in his deeds and their continuing resonance, as he shaped duchies and counties, rebuilt and founded towns and monasteries, and consciously set himself up not just as King of the Franks, but as the new 'Emperor governing the Roman Empire'. His successors - in some ways to the present day - have struggled to interpret, misinterpret, copy or subvert Charlemagne's legacy. Nelson gets us as close as we can ever hope to come to the real figure, as understood in his own time.

La Chanson d'Aiquin, longtemps tenue pour un rameau mineur, voire suspect, de la geste carolingienne, reste bien méconnue. Or la présente étude y découvre un système sémiotique servant une signification globale, originale et cohérente. L'auteur relance d'abord l'enquête sur les rapports d'Aiquin et de l'Histoire, dont il montre la complexité et l'intelligence, entre s ouvenirs réels de la période viking de la Bretagne et adaptation politique au contexte de la fin du XIIe siècle. Puis, utilisant et testant les outils d'analyse de la technique épique, il se livre à une étude systématique des formes de la Chanson (vers, laisse, formules et motifs), mettant en évidence les faiblesses, mais aussi les aspects singuliers, parfois raffinés, de son art n arratif, rhétorique et lyrique. Enfin, une troisième partie conjoint étude des stéréotypes et approfondissement de l'interprétation, montrant qu'Aiquin exalte non seulement l'autonomie de la Bretagne, mais encore une morale du contemptus mundi finement instillée dans l'ensemble du poème.
