About: Eikonoklastes

An Entity of Type: book, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Eikonoklastes (from the Greek εἰκονοκλάστης, "iconoclast") is a book by John Milton, published October 1649. In it he provides a justification for the execution of Charles I, which had taken place on 30 January 1649. The book's title is taken from the Greek, and means "Iconoclast" or "breaker of the icon", and refers to Eikon Basilike, a Royalist propaganda work. The translation of Eikon Basilike is "icon of the King"; it was published immediately after the execution. Milton's book is therefore usually seen as Parliamentarian propaganda, explicitly designed to counter the Royalist arguments.

  • Eikonoklastes (en grec ancien : εἰκονοκλάστης, soit « iconoclaste »), sous-titré in answer to a book intitled, Eikōn basilikē, the portraiture of his sacred Majesty in his solitudes and sufferings (« en réponse au Portrait de Sa Sacrée Majesté dans Ses Solitudes et Souffrances »), est un essai de John Milton publié en octobre 1649. Commandé par le Parlement d'Angleterre, il constitue une justification de l'exécution du roi d'Angleterre Charles Ier en janvier 1649, en réponse à l’Eikon Basilike, un ouvrage autobiographique posthume attribué au roi (et plus tard également à ses conseillers), où ce dernier défend sa politique et la royauté, et qui lui fait acquérir un statut de martyr. Milton choisit le titre d'iconoclaste en référence à ce statut, et cherche dans ce livre à contrer les arguments royalistes. (fr)
