La figure de Scanderbeg dans les lettres françaises de la renaissance à l’age classique

Abstract

This study proposes a historical and literary approach of a range of works
(biographies, novels or theatrical fiction, moral treatises) in which the albanian
national hero plays a prominent role.
No more than the “Soliman theme” or the “Barberousse theme” did this
“Scanderbeg theme” produce any true masterpiece. However, the large number
of works involved, the success of some of them in their time and the long
life of the theme attest a phenomenon worthy of examination.
