Through the windows of my eyes ... the poetic world of Karl of Orleans

The book proposed to the attention of readers is devoted to the study of the work of the largest French poet of the 15th century. Karl of Orleans (1394-1465), who, unlike his contemporary Francois Viyon, is little known in Russia. Karl Orleans - a prince of blood, a member of the royal family - by virtue of its origin, was called upon to play one of the main roles on the political and military stage of France, torn by a centenary war and internal straightforwards. But fate ordered otherwise: having spent a quarter of his life in English captivity, he never became a political and statesman, choosing a poetic field. It would seem far away from reality, filled with abstractions, the poetry of Karl of Orleans is actually a source with living water, giving the joy of meeting with the human soul and enjoyment of the word. The work of Karl of Orleans is considered in the work against the backdrop of a tradition, taking into account and analysis of extensive critical literature dedicated to the poet.
The book is designed for both philologists and a wider circle of readers: poetry lovers who are interested in European literature of the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Many translations of verses by Karl Orleans, made by the poet and translator Yulia Pokrovskaya, are published for the first time
