Theatrality of a Late Mediaeval Court is concerned with a well-known Burgundian court
festivity, throws light on its symbolic contents and historical and cultural context, and

performative aspects.

After an introduction dealing with the datings and possible genetic relationship between the texts, they are approached in search of parallel structural features and of commonly shared topoi. Chapter 1 demonstrates how the two authors use the identical devices to persuade the reader to comprehend nature as an allegory, chiefly the antrophomorphisation of animals – the beasts and birds gain human attributes, human attitudes, but also human physique; on the basis of their natural and symbolical properties, animals represent human values and social classes, while systems of natural classification and hierarchy are transposed into human social organisations. Chapter 2 looks at how the human community is allegorised in the two poems as a body politic in practical terms, how the animals are made to deliberate, debate and take part in a sophisticated social arrangement. Each of the two imaginary assemblies mimics surprisingly closely those held by the political representatives of the two realms at the time of composition; representing real-world power structures and communicative frameworks, the allegories portray the Bohemian and English polities in striking detail – from the monarch's position through to the decision-making process as such. Close comparison then shows that the political philosophy behind the two texts, concerning the management of human polity, is fundamentally identical. In chapter 3, with the help of late medieval philosophical and theological concepts, a transition is made from common political ideology towards features the two poems share in the areas of cosmology and eschatology. The analysis shows how the political message is in both poems complemented with and presupposed by a spiritual one, how both poems set forth universal belief systems before the reader and attempt to aid him to make the right decisions in problems which these belief systems pose.
