Historiographe et poète officiel du duché bourguignon sous les règnes de Philippe le Bon et Charles le Téméraire, maître des Grands Rhétoriqueurs, George Chastelain occupe aujourd'hui dans la critique littéraire une place ambiguë. Précurseur d'un groupe auquel il ne lègue apparemment que peu de traits stylistiques, il demeure un point de référence souvent cité, mal connu et pourtant majeur dans la transition entre la culture du Moyen Age et la modernité. Son écriture est le lieu où se cristallisent les tensions fécondes qui caractérisent son époque. Historien soumis aux volontés princières, il revendique pourtant un statut original, celui d'orateur, gardien des significations, maître du temps et de la gloire future. La pratique de l'ornatus légué par la tradition médiévale, en prose et en vers, lui permet de subsumer les contradictions de son statut par l'édification d'une poétique cohérente. Le texte chez Chastelain devient un espace de totalisation des sens, littéraires, politiques, religieux. Son œuvre polygraphique, revendiquée comme "totale escripture", est, dans la littérature française, rupture et passage : héritière de la richesse médiévale, donnant naissance à la Grande Rhétorique bourguignonne, elle forme le seuil d'une autre voie vers la Renaissance française

Charles, duc d'Orléans, prince and poet, was a captive in England for twenty-five years following the battle of Agincourt. The studies in this volume, by European and American scholars, focus on his life and actions during that time, and show him as a serious and learned reader, a cunning political figure (accomplished in the skills that would impress the English nobility around him), and a masterful poet, innovative, witty, and intensely self-aware. Discussion of his manuscripts, his social and political relationships, his extensive library, and his poetry in two languages reveal him as a shrewd observer of life, which in his poetry he describes in ways not seen again until the Renaissance.
