Keywords:
medieval spectacle, Coronation Feast, Bernat Metge, Ausiàs March, Pere Miquel CarbonellAbstract
The public dimension of literature, at its most evident, when displayed as spectacle, was undeniably bound to royal power, especially during the Middle Ages. Th is work looks at some of the writers who started working under royal patronage at the fourteenth-century Catalan-Aragonese court, and those who worked under the last kings in the autonomous dynasty as well as during the fi fteenth century, under the new Trastamara lineage: Bernat Metge, Ausiàs March, Joanot Martorell and Pere Miquel Carbonell. Particular attention is also given to those spectacles which were used as a political tool to exalt and broadcast the power of the reigning monarchies, especially some urban propaganda instruments as the Royal Entrance and the palace spectacles at the Coronation Feast.
