Frances A. Yates - Astraea, The imperial theme in the sixteenth century
•
`With her work on Giordano Bruno, the Rosicrucians, the Art of Memory and the Elizabethan theater, Frances Yates has astonished and delighted laymen and scholars alike. Now she returns her attention to the imagery of imperial promise which surrounded European monarchy in the sixteenth century. The accession of Charles V, with his wast dominions in both old and New Worlds, was the occasion for a renewal of the myth of Empire in the West. The theme was echoed in the glorification of Elizabeth I and the magnificent pageants and ballets of the declining Valois in France. In these pages, Sir Philip Sidney and Edmund Spenser mingle with Ronsard, Erasmus and Ramon Lull, John Foxe with Giordano Bruno, and Bishop Jewel with Dante and Ariosto. Frances Yate`s exquisite scholarship has illuminated our understanding of the renaissance monarchies as they struggled with the dark undertow of reformation and counter-reformation.`
