Presentation

The objective of the event is to examine the editorial techniques and cultural strategies utilized by the network of booksellers, printers, and bibliophiles who curated and disseminated medieval French affective literature to the general 'audience' in France and Europe since the introduction of the printing press in 1470. On the one hand, our focus is to examine the pre-modern and modern reception of this literature in a broad context. We will pay special attention to groups of texts such as courtly texts, specific forms of medieval lyricism, allegorical texts, and 'arts d'aimer'. On the other hand, we aim to investigate changes observed in the literary and cultural parameters that delimit the textual types which convey affection between the Middle Ages and Modernity. The contributions aim to demonstrate how the 'end' of the Middle Ages brought about changes in narrative, stylistic, and cultural models. A network of book professionals directed the reading and 'rereading' of these texts according to contemporary pre-modern and modern sensibilities. This will be measured by studying, on the one hand, the publishing policies and practices of booksellers and printers, in order to reconstruct the evolution of the tastes of the public to which these book were addressed (first in manuscript, then in print), and, on the other hand, the intellectual or cultural interests of patrons, bibliophiles and literati who 'rediscovered' the medieval past and treated them in their literary or historiographical works

The conference venue is unique. Located right next to the basilica of St Martin in the old city centre of Tours, the Centre d'Études Supérieures de la Renaissance (Centre for Advanced Studies in the Renaissance) is a teaching and research institution which welcomes students and researchers seeking initial or supplementary instruction in all aspects of the Renaissance. The Centre was initially constituted in 1956 on the basis of a library and a documentary archive, supplemented by a collection of photographs and databases. It is now a venue for multi-disciplinary instruction, which, in association with the various Faculties of the University, has responsibility for teaching and research in History, History of Art, Literature, Languages, Musicology, and Philosophy. It currently leads a large research programme dedicated to the cultural regional heritage (Intelligence des Patrimoines). As a research centre it brings together fifty or so researchers committed to the investigation of the "civilization of the Renaissance" from Petrarch to Descartes. Participants will be welcomed in this exceptional surrounding blending Middle Age and Renaissance cultures and will have the opportunity to discover French cuisine and wines.
