Resumen de Rhétorique de la perte: L'exemple de la mort d'Isabelle de Bourbon (1465)
The Rhetoric of Loss - The fifteenth century evidences, in a variety of diverse ways, to a growing interest in affective phenomenons and their literary and figurative representations. The author has chosen, from among the vast number of laments in which a veritable phenomenology of mourning is developped, three texts which refer to the same event : the death of Isabel of Bourbon (1465). These texts throw light on the relationship between historical fact and literary imagination as well as on the (anthropological) tension between mourning and consolation.
