dc.description.abstract | Merced a un singular poema francés,
cuyos orígenes siguen siendo oscuros,
el rey Tudor Enrique VII se transformó
en 1497 en un segundo Hércules y parte
de su biografía, en una sucesión de doce
trabajos mitológicos. Desde luego, Enrique
aparecía descrito con harta complacencia,
aventajando a su modelo grecorromano y
derribando a peores adversarios que monstruos
de la Antigüedad.
Por desgracia, esta pretenciosa y lúdica
obra daba a entender al lector que la tarea
no se había llevado totalmente a buen término
y que el usurpador, pese a toda su
gallardía y virtud, apenas lograba amilanar
a sus enemigos ni a ganarse el corazón de
sus súbditos. ¿De aquí, quizás, el malogro
final de esta asombrosa biografía heroica? | en_US |
dc.description.abstract | Thanks to a singular French poem,
whose origins remain obscure, the Tudor
king Henry VII was turned in 1497 into a
second Hercules, and part of his biography
thus became a succession of twelve mythological
labours. Henry was complacently
shown as surpassing his Greco-Roman
model and as slaying opponents who were
worse than the monsters of antiquity.
Unfortunately, the pedantic and playful
work led its reader to understand that
the task was not successfully finished, and
that the usurper, in spite of all his bravery
and virtue, could hardly discourage his enemies,
or even win the hearts of his subjects.
Hence, perhaps, the final failure of
that amazing heroic biography? | en_US |
