Description

One of two sessions aiming to take a broad and interdisciplinary view of late-medieval political literature produced in multiple genres, geographical areas, and languages. This session explores the relationship between tyranny, letters, and literature about women in Castile, French chivalric biography and the mirror for princes genre, and the use of the mirror genre in urban contexts in Italy, the Rhine Area, and the Southern Low Countries.
