Description
Philippe de Commynes' Memory and Betrayal is a literary re-evaluation of the medieval diplomat's text, exploring its significance in fifteenth-century France. Written by Irit Ruth Kleiman, this study examines the connections between writing and betrayal in Commynes' representation of his king's reign. Drawing on diplomatic letters and court transcripts, Kleiman delves into the mutual relationships between historical narrative and diplomatic activities in Commynes' work. By analyzing these intersections, she sheds new light on how historical accounts and personal narratives are intertwined. This book provides a nuanced understanding of Commynes' iconic figure, one who embodied both the art of politics and the complexities of loyalty and betrayal.
