Marc-Claude de Buttet : a biography and a critical edition of L'Amalthee 1575

Alyn-Stacey, Sarah

Abstract

This thesis comprises:
(i) A biography of Marc-Claude de Buttet (1529-1531?- 1586), intended to bring up to date the previous most
comprehensive biography by François Mugnier (1896).
(ii) A critical edition of Buttet's major sonnet sequence, L'Amalthee (1575). This is preceded by a literary study which evaluates the principal
characteristics, trends and influences apparent in the work, and aims to clarify Buttet's place in the literary history of the Renaissance. This edition is accompanied by a footnote commentary, a list of incipit, an index of proper names, a glossary, and appendices containing those compositions in the first edition of the sonnet sequence (1560) which were excluded from the 1575 edition.
(iii) A bibliography of all works known to be by Buttet, or attributed to him. This includes works discovered by the present author.
(iv) A bibliography of relevant works consulted in the preparation of this thesis.
