• Resumen

  • It has often been noted that Violant de Bar, wife of Joan I and Queen of Aragon 1387-96, played an important role in the diffusion of humanistic or pre-humanistic culture in the Crown of Aragon. Indeed, Violant encouraged the spread of French customs throughout the kingdom, particularly the new literary currents that contributed to the study of classical authors, and in so doing appears to have caused a true cultural revolution. Her influence continued even after the death of King Joan in 1396. This essay attempts to determine the real cultural impact of Violant de Bar�s presence in the Crown of Aragon by answering the following questions: Did Catalan literary culture undergo a renewal in the 14th century brought about by Violant? Did Catalan humanism originate from a French rather than an Italian model? Was Violant's legacy truly revolutionary, and what changes did it occasion in the literature produced in the peninsula between the late 14th and mid-15th centuries?
