Abstract

Olivier de La Marche's Memoires of events in Burgundy in the latter half of the fifteenth century raise many questions for historians. Written piecemeal over a period of fifty years, individual passages must first be dated; then, questions of style and genre can be addressed: are the Memoires memoirs in the modern understanding of the term? How far can the text be read as autobiography? Is La Marche the eyewitness he seems? The relationship between the Memoires and the literary culture surrounding the Burgundian court is also examined, followed by examination of three key aspects of the Memoires: their status as didactic literature, the place accorded to religion (and within that, to Franciscan friars), and the presentation of combat. Far from being a naive and inaccurate account, the Memoires emerge as having specific polemical purposes, the polemic often strengthened by what have traditionally been read as confused chronology and material errors.

Abstract

Les articles qui figurent dans ce recueil sont tirés des communications présentées lors d'un colloque organisé à l'Université nationale d'Irlande à Galway en avril 2004, sur le thème de la tromperie dans la littérature et la culture visuelle françaises ou francophones. Le recueil se penche sur de nombreuses représentations et pratiques particulières de la mystification depuis le Moyen Âge jusqu'à nos jours. Divisé en trois sections thématiques, le livre commence par des analyses du statut de la déformation dans l'art et la littérature, pour aborder ensuite la manière dont la manipulation est mise en oeuvre dans et par certaines oeuvres. Enfin il est question du fonctionnement de la substitution dans la construction et la réception des supercheries.

Abstract

The growth of urban life in the Middle Ages led to a flourishing of performance, drama and spectacle as we understand them today. Here is presented, for the first time, a collection of commissioned essays whose goal is to bring together a broad variety of interdisciplinary, innovative 'snapshots' from different geographical locations, time frames, traditions and scholarly fields. Contributors to Performance, Drama, Spectacle and the Medieval City are scholars of international prominence. Through their diverse interests, but single focus, the fundamental mobility of medieval culture is acknowledged. The collective aim in honouring Alan Hindley and his ongoing work is to produce a set of variations which offer diversity yet coherence. Performance and spectacle played a central role not only in the realm of urban entertainment, but also adopted enormously important civic and religious functions. The cities in the medieval west were both a hotbed of cultural manifestations, and elemental in the development of drama. In its refusal to accept subjective boundaries and its broad assumption that drama takes many forms, it is hoped that Performance, Drama, Spectacle and the Medieval City will find favour with its dedicatee, and imitate his wisdom and openness by enabling dialogue between traditions, critical approaches, and moments in time.
