The Pastime of Master F. J.

Article | Contributor(s): Dale B. Billingsley

Characters in Gascoigne's "Adventures of Master F. J." (1573) use reading as a pastime by which they sort out or complicate their relationships with others; the novel's readers, for their pastime, recreate these relationships as they read the novel. These linguistic, rhetorical and social...

The First Zürich Disputation (January 29th, 1523) between Ulrich Zwingli and Johann Faber was the earliest Reformation-era public debate of the doctrine of the eucharistic sacrifice. While Zwingli was at an early and relatively fluid stage in his rejection of eucharistic sacrifice, Faber's...

The Fall of Nebuchadnezzar

Article | Contributor(s): Guy Poirier

L’interprétation de l'oeuvre de Marc Lescarbot hésite le plus souvent entre l'aspect encyclopédique de ses ouvrages et leur dimention créative. Dans le présent article, l'auteur tente de situer le discours dont se réclame l'écrivain au coeur du maniérisme poétique du début du XVIIe siècle. Pour...

Les relations entre la Compagnie de Jésus et Henri IV ont été marquées pendant près de quinze ans par des malentendus, des accidents de parcours, plus encore par des pressions qui s'exerçaient sur celle-ci comme sur celui-là et qui témoignaient à la fois de l'existence de préjugés et de peurs que...

Représentation allégorique d'Henri IV rex imperator

Article | Contributor(s): Marie-France Wagner

C'est à partir de deux images que nous étudions la représentation d'Henri IV rex imperator. La première, gravée en 1602 et réutilisée quelque sept années plus tard, est doublement allégorique; elle met en scène Henri IV à la fois Hercule et Alexandre. La description du premier arc de triomphe de...

Donne's Pseudo-Martyr is his first major published work and the longest that he ever wrote. As he argues in it about the relationship of the state and religion to each other, he establishes Henry IV of Navarre, king of France, as one of his models of a competent and tolerant king. Henry's...
