He is credited with inventing the political memoir, but his reminiscence has also been described as the confessions of a traitor: Commynes had abandoned Louiss rival, the Burgundian duke Charles the Bold, before joining forces with the king. This study provides a literary re-evaluation of Commyness text - a perennial subject of scandal and fascination - while Questioning what the terms traitor or betrayed meant in the context of fifteenth-century France. Drawing on diplomatic letters and court transcripts, Irit Ruth Kleiman examines the mutual connections between writing and betrayal in Commyness representation of Louiss reign, the relationship between the author and the king, and the emergence of the memoir as an autobiographical genre. Kleiman focuses on the roles that textuality and narrative play in the difficult negotiation between royal subjection and individual subjectivity. Her study significantly deepens our understanding of how historical narrative and diplomatic activities are intertwined in the work of this iconic, iconoclastic figure.
