| Abstract | This panel explores new approaches to the multifarious discourses of politics in 14th- and 15th-century Europe. Miren Lacassagne examines trends in the study of the political poetry and historical record surrounding Eustache Deschamps - warrior-poet and the man who literally wrote the book on the art of rhetoric. Susan Dudash's contribution targets the prevalence of political dialogue on the people and the poor in two complementary genres: Alain Chartier's Quadrilogue invectif and the anonymous Journal d'un bourgeois de Paris. Kate Dimitrova's paper addresses the influence of northern vocabulary on later 15th-century luxury tapestry production spearheaded by the Dalmau de Mur's commissions. |
