Description

Explore the influential role of Queen Marie of Brabant (1260-1321) in the French court through this specialized art history study. Published by Harvey Miller, this book examines her significant impact as an intellectual and literary patron. Marie was celebrated for her numerous commissions, including a French vernacular version of the Arabic Tale of the Thousand and One Nights. This work is preserved in one of the most vivid and sumptuous late thirteenth-century manuscripts known today. While classic studies of the late medieval period often overlook her influence, Pleasure and Politics investigates her connection to the rise of secular interests at the French court. This volume provides a new perspective on her legacy, comparing her patronage to legendary figures like Charlemagne and Alexander the Great. It is an essential resource for those studying medieval and early Renaissance art history.
