Life of Jacques Coeur and the French trade king
Review covers Louisa Costello's Jacques Coeur biography highlighting his role in creating France's commercial marine, aiding Charles VII, and enduring a transition from feudal plunder to legalized depredation. The essay praises its depth, method, and Costello's handling of historical events and the Times context. The critique notes vivid passages including a royal appeal to restore France and strong narrative drive.
