Description: This interdisciplinary collection examines the notion of sedition in the period of the French Wars of Religion (1560?1600) and focuses not only on France itself, but also on Scotland during the reign of the French-born Mary Queen of Scots. Composed of eleven chapters written by an international team of experts, this volume concentrates on the political aspects of sedition rather than religious heresy, and covers writings and publications in a wide range of fields: politics, history, law, literature, and gender. A complementary feature of this collection is the spectrum of writings studied; they include edicts and treatises, pamphlets, broadsides, legal documents, dialogues, and satirical prose and poetry. Several chapters also address visual representations of sedition.0An Introduction and a Conclusion provide synthetic analyses of the material studied in the individual chapters.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
