Su questo libro

Recensione

' ... an undoubted achievement ... in the breadth and comprehensibility of its narrative history, in the sensitivity of its pieces on humanism, religion and the arts particularly: but valuable throughout.' The Times Literary Supplement

' ... there can be no doubt that Knecht's book is a valuable achievement. Wide-ranging and written throughout with exemplary clarity, it draws together a mass of important information and interpretation that English students of Renaissance France will find immensely serviceable.' English Historical Review

'Until Desmond Seward's Prince of the Renaissance there was no modern life in English, and until now no full-scale biography at all. The gap is superbly filled by R. J. Knecht's fresh book. Francis I is vigorous, exhaustive, and much rarer in a work of this range and scale - particularly well measured and shaped ... a model of what a dense historical biography should be.' The Times

Descrizione del libro

The name of Francis I might not be as well-known as that of his contemporaries, Henry VIII and Emperor Charles V, yet he was no less important for that. R. J. Knecht investigates the reign of Francis I and discovers that he witnessed and promoted fundamental changes in the political structure, economy, society, religion and cultural life of France.
