Trois œuvres essentielles, nées au cœur de la Renaissance, éclairées par le regard moderne de trois philosophes de l'entreprise. Pour la première fois depuis leur parution il y a 500 ans, un seul livre réunit l' " Eloge de la Folie ", " Le Prince " et " L'Utopie ". En version condensée et enrichis par les analyses inédites de grands penseurs de notre temps, ils sont désormais accessibles au lecteur contemporain. Le texte d'Erasme est commenté par Luc de Brabandere, celui de Machiavel par Jean-Michel Besnier, et, celui de More par Charles Handy. Cette rencontre des esprits et des pensées, cette fécondation mutuelle des intelligences par-delà les siècles et les frontières, constitue un moment unique d'humanisme et de civilisation. Entre 1511 et 1516, trois livres majeurs furent publiés, trois ouvrages fondateurs qui ont modifié la conception que l'Europe se faisait d'elle-même. Ces textes nous marquent encore aujourd'hui. Presque simultanément, en trois pays différents les Pays-Bas, l'Italie, l'Angleterre - trois grands penseurs modernes - Erasme, Machiavel et More vont mettre sur le papier, qui désormais s'imprime, un ensemble d'idées en rupture. Toutes gravitent certes autour d'un même thème : le changement. Mais ce sont bien en trois dimensions différentes et de trois manières vraiment distinctes que ce thème éternel sera mis en évidence. Avec l'" Eloge de la Folie ", " Le Prince " et " L'Utopie ", l'Europe repense le rapport au pouvoir, se laisse inspirer par l'Antiquité pour créer du neuf, réinterprète la place de l'individu dans la société, transforme la religion et la relation à Dieu, prend conscience de l'Amérique. Elle découvre l'anthropologie, réinvente la politique, s'essaie à l'économie, analyse, critique, rêve...

Donadi’s edition of Gorgias’ Helenae encomium takes into account the entire manuscript tradition of this work, offering definitive readings of many obscure passages. The new text goes beyond the schematic distinction between the Ms. Burneianus A and the Ms. X (Palatinus 88) offered by other current editions.

Under Ptolemy II Philadelphus, who ruled Egypt in the middle of the third century B.C.E., Alexandria became the brilliant multicultural capital of the Greek world. Theocritus's poem in praise of Philadelphus-at once a Greek king and an Egyptian pharaoh-is the only extended poetic tribute to this extraordinary ruler that survives. Combining the Greek text, an English translation, a full line-by-line commentary, and extensive introductory studies of the poem's historical and literary context, this volume also offers a wide-ranging and far-reaching consideration of the workings and representation of poetic patronage in the Ptolemaic age. In particular, the book explores the subtle and complex links among Theocritus's poem, modes of praise drawn from both Greek and Egyptian traditions, and the subsequent flowering of Latin poetry in the Augustan age. As the first detailed account of this important poem to show how Theocritus might have drawn on the pharaonic traditions of Egypt as well as earlier Greek poetry, this book affords unique insight into how praise poetry for Ptolemy and his wife may have helped to negotiate the adaptation of Greek culture that changed conditions of the new Hellenistic world. Invaluable for its clear translation and its commentary on genre, dialect, diction, and historical reference in relation to Theocritus's Encomium, the book is also significant for what it reveals about the poem's cultural and social contexts and about Theocritus' devices for addressing his several readerships. COVER IMAGE: The image on the front cover of this book is incorrectly identified on the jacket flap. The correct caption is: Gold Oktadrachm depicting Ptolemy II and Arsinoe (mid-third century BCE; by permission of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston).

"In England in Europe, Elizabeth Tyler focuses on two histories: the Encomium Emmae Reginae, written for Emma the wife of AEthelred II and Cnut, and The Life of King Edward, written for Edith the wife of Edward the Confessor. Tyler offers a bold literary and historical analysis of both texts and reveals how the two queens actively engaged in the patronage of history-writing and poetry to exercise their royal authority. Tyler's innovative combination of attention to intertextuality and regard for social networks emphasizes the role of women at the centre of Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Norman court literature. In doing so, she argues that both Emma and Edith's negotiation of conquests and factionalism created powerful models of queenly patronage that were subsequently adopted by individuals such as Queen Margaret of Scotland, Countess Adela of Blois, Queen Edith/Matilda, and Queen Adeliza. England in Europe sheds new light on the connections between English, French, and Flemish history-writing and poetry and illustrates the key role Anglo-Saxon literary culture played in European literature long after 1066"--
