| Summary | "Poésies de Charles d'Orléans" by Charles d'Orléans is a rich collection of poetry written in the 15th century. The work showcases the eloquent verses of the duke, who is both a significant historical figure entangled in the sociopolitical turmoil of his time and a voice of profound poetic expression. The poetry often reflects themes of love, beauty, and melancholy, featuring the character of Beaulté, who plays a pivotal role in the emotional tapestry of the collection. The opening portion introduces readers to the historical context and personal struggles of Charles d'Orléans, including the tragic events that shaped his youth, such as the brutal assassination of his father and the loss of loved ones. It highlights his character as both a prince embroiled in conflict and a sensitive poet, grappling with love and longing amid his captivity following the Battle of Azincourt. The poems discussed portray a vivid interplay between youthful delight and the sorrow of separation, with personified sentiments like Jeunesse (Youth) and Dame Merencolie (Lady Melancholy) guiding his emotional journey. Thus, the beginning sets the stage for an exploration of how personal experiences influence the artistry of a poet deeply rooted in his historical moment.
