GRINGORE, PIERRE; BASKERVILL, CHARLES READ (EDITOR). Pierre Gringore's Pageants For The Entry Of Mary Tudor Into Paris: An Unpublished Manuscript.
The University of Chicago Press, Chicago: 1934. Hardcover with dustjacket. Good condition considering its age but the dustjacket is in poor shape. Gift inscription appears on front endpaper. Though accounts of pageantry offer an important source for social as well as cultural history, very little attention has been paid to the information that pageants for a single town or period have to offer about civic organization and pride, the growth of wealth, or the reflection of taste. Valued primarily for a study of pageantry, this work also helps to fill in a colorful chapter in the history of Anglo-French relations, and it adds a new work to the canon of no less great a figure in French literature than Pierre Gringore. ¶ 43 pages.
Offered for US$ 244.75 by: Ad Infinitum Books - Book number: 40073X1
