Description

Who was Catherine de Medici? The answer to this question depends largely on ones religion and politics. Catherine de Medici: Five Portraits examines historically this great queen from the standpoint of her contemporaries and later writers. The primary focus is Catherine as seen in five works of French literature: Madame de La Fayettes La Princesse de Clèves, Honoré de Balzacs Sur Catherine de Médicis, Alexandre Dumas pères La Reine Margot, Henri III et sa cour, and Prosper Mérimées Chronique du règne de Charles IX. The famous queen and queen-mother are viewed from a multiplicity of perspectives, including that of victim and victimizer.
