Reviews
"In this volume, eight experts take up a question first explored by Johan Huizinga in 1912: were there motifs and symbols of unity in the late medieval Burgundian Netherlands that overrode the tug of particularism? The authors tackle two centuries, but anchor their investigation in the fifteenth century, where they locate a number of intellectual and cultural developments launched or patronized by the Valois dukes in an attempt to centralize their authority and gild it with royal status. (…) The Ideology of Burgundy is part of a remarkable stream of publications over the last decade that have explored the cultural politics of the Burgundian Netherlands. The eight essays are deeply researched, rich in argument and evidence, and goldmines for experts seeking a deeper understanding of how political identities were forged in this notoriously diverse set of territories by a cadet branch of the French monarchy."
