- Title
Retz et Mazarin: polémique et politique dans les "Mémoires" de Retz.
- Authors
TRIBOUT, BRUNO
- Abstract
The article discusses how the image of Cardinal Jules Mazarin is presented in the "Mémoires" of the Cardinal Jean-François Paul de Gondi de Retz. Topics mentioned include how the negative portrayal of Mazarin in Retz's memoirs would benefit the Retz's political allies in the struggles for power during the Fronde wars, the biographical parallels between the two men, and a comparison between Mazarin's alleged corrupt political intrigues and Machiavellian behavior and Retz's own strategic maneuvers.
