Book Description
Louise de Savoie, mère de François Ier, est injustement oubliée des manuels d'histoire. A l'aube de la Renaissance française, ni reine ni reine mère, elle est pourtant l'une des personnalités les plus importantes de son temps. Avec une grande finesse et un sens aigu de la diplomatie, cette femme courageuse influence la politique et domine la vie intellectuelle du royaume. Son goût pour les enluminures, la peinture, les tapisseries, l'orfèvrerie et son grand intérêt pour les livres ont, sans aucun doute, nourri le penchant du jeune François pour les arts.

Book Description
The French emigration was an exilic movement triggered by the 1789 French Revolution with long-lasting social, cultural, and political impacts that continued well into the nineteenth century. At times paradoxical, the political and legal implications of being an émigré are detangled in this edited collection, thus bringing to light unexpected processes of tensions and compromises between the exiles and their host societies. The refugee/host contact points also fostered a series of cultural transfers. This book argues that the French emigration ought to be seen within the broader context of an ‘Age of Exile’, a notion that better encompasses the dynamics of migration that forced many to re-imagine their relation to a nation and define their displaced identities. Revisiting the historiography of the last twenty years from an interdisciplinary perspective, this volume challenges pre-existing beliefs on the journeys and re-settlements – in Europe and beyond – of the French émigré community.
