Mirror for Magistrates is a collection of English poems and prose from the Tudor period, by various authors, which retell the lives and the tragic ends of various historical figures. "the entire work contained almost one hundred lives, covering the period from Albanact in 1085 BC to Elizabeth in 1603 and written over 60 years. popular and highly regarded during the Tudor period. Philip Sidney, mentions the work in his Defence of Poesy, saying that it was "meetly furnished of beautiful parts". The influence of the work was evident in many contemporary works such as Albion's England by the poet William Warner and Cromwell by Michael Drayton which was actually included in the 1610 edition. It was also significant for its development of the form of tragedy in English literature, with Higgins' story of Lier and Cordila providing a source for Shakespeare's King Lear.

Hardback, 2 vol., XLI+592 p., 225 x 295 mm. ISBN 9782503516738. "Cette publication est incontestablement prometteuse." (M. Vernet, dans Acta/Fabula, 19 janvier 2009) "The importance of this work cannot be overstated. It will be of interest to anyone working on Proust (and not only to the more 'genetically' inclined scholars) and on modern European literature in general. It also sets a clear standard for future manuscript transcriptions. There is a word that appears regularly on the pages of Proust's manuscript and which describes perfectly the first two volumes in this series: 'Capitalissime'." (Thomas Baldwin, in French Studies: A Quarterly Review 63/4, October 2009, p. 487) "The importance of this and future editions of the cahiers for scholars working in the field of genetic criticism is immeasurable. These volumes also offer a fascinating addition to Proustian scholarship more generally by making such high-quality and meticulously annotated reproductions accessible outside the BnF. Moreover, the quality of these editions feels considerably closer to the originals than the microfiche format in which they are now accessed in the BnF. The publication of further cahiers is thus to be eagerly awaited." (M. Topping, in Modern Language Review 105/1, January 2010, p. 252). Languages : French.
