KlappentextWhat role do rulers play in historical texts and what determines the way they are portrayed? This volume explores these themes, considering the national or regional, personal, discursive, and generic parameters that influenced the writing of history and the way rulers were depicted in humanist texts.
Zusatztext
"Certainly this volume shows another face of humanism, which we can call monarchical : a face no less important than the civil or republican, which a certain tradition of studies, mainly focused on Florence, tends to represent as exclusive."
Fulvio Delle Donne in: Renaissance Quarterly Vol. LXX, No. 3, pp. 1041 - 1043
"To conclude, Portraying the Prince is a refreshing complement to classic overviews [...], and provides greater richness and a more vibrant texture to the canvas of humanist historiography."
