Paperback / softback

Item not Available

Description

Ranum analyses the canons of writing history and describes the lives and achievements of the royal French historiographers.

He examines the manner in which these writers described and, in some sense, created the glory that surrounded the lives of the nobility, hoping by so doing to enhance their own glory.

Through studying the careers of these men, the author demonstrates how rhetorical, ideological, and social beliefs determined the way history was written.
