The essays analyse a wide variety of texts to offer new insights into the ways in which the language and imagery of politics and justice permeated medieval French culture"--Provided by publisher.Power (Social sciences) in literatureJustice in artPower (Social sciences) in artJustice in literatureFrench literatureTo 1500History and criticismManuscripts, FrenchEarly printed booksFranceFrancePolitics and government987-1328SourcesFrancePolitics and government1328-1589SourcesFranceSocial conditions987-1515SourcesElectronic books.Power (Social sciences) in literature.Justice in art.Power (Social sciences) in art.Justice in literature.French literatureHistory and criticism.Manuscripts, French.Early printed books303.30944/0902Ribémont Bernard387235Brown-Grant Rosalind34241Hedeman Anne Dawson959027FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910154989603321Textual and visual representations of power and justice in medieval France2172806UNINA
