Courtly Culture Shift of power towards ruler Centre for patronage, preferment, cultural life Competitions in magnificence

Palais du Louvre, Paris Place des Vosges, Paris

Pierre Patel, Palace of Versailles, 1668

Interactions New work in the 60s and 70s Influence of anthropology and sociology eg. Natalie Zemon Davis

Peter Burke, Popular Culture in Early Modern Europe (1978) ‘great’ and ‘little’ traditions elites participate in both, “people” only in little tradition

Carlo Ginzburg The Cheese and the Worms (English trans. 1980) focus on circularity and appropriation Microhistory of Menocchio the miller active appropriation from elite culture “a total, unified culture, rather than some kind of fractured 'two-tier' entity” (R. Scribner)

The Court Protecting and enclosing the prince Connecting to the outside Presence of artists, craftsmen, performers
