GAPOSCHKIN Cecilia, RUBENSTEIN Jay (éd.), Political Ritual and Practice in Capetian France. Studies in Honour of Elizabeth A. R. Brown, Turnhout, Brepols, 2021 (Cultural Encounters in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, 34)
ISBN : 978-2-503-59302-9.

This volume demonstrates the continued vitality of the history of the Capetians to the study of the medieval world. In this volume, thirteen of the world’s leading scholars of medieval France explore some of the most important ideas, events, personalities, and artistic creations of the Capetian world (987–1328). From some of the earliest medieval attempts to make narrative treatments of French history, through the invention of the schools, the creation of Gothic architecture, the practices of chivalry, the practice of statecraft, and the promulgation of law codes, the volume offers a panoramic view of the kingdom and the era that has come to define the medieval world in both the scholarly and popular imaginations. The scholars brought together in this volume share as well a common sense of gratitude and an intellectual debt to Elizabeth A. R. Brown, whose own rigour and brilliance has inspired their work and shaped their sense of the past. Political Ritual and Practice in Capetian France is both a tribute to a scholar of real accomplishment and a collection of original scholarship raised upon on the foundations that Elizabeth A. R. Brown herself set down.
