==In the arts== *The contemporary literary chronicles were influenced by other medieval genres: [[Romance (heroic literature)|romance]], [[satire]], and complaint.<ref>These "non-historical" literary aspects of the chronicles were examined by Marie-Thérèse de Medeiros, ''Jacques et Chroniqueurs: Une Étude comparée de récits contemporains relaxant la Jacquerie de 1358'' (Paris, 1979).</ref> *The subject of the Jacquerie engaged the [[Romanticism|Romantic historical imagination]], resulting in numerous nineteenth-century historical novels with somewhat operatic plots set against the backdrop of the Jacquerie—''The Jacquerie, or, The Lady and the Page: An Historical Romance'' by G. P. R James (1842) and the like— and even an opera, ''[[La jacquerie]]'', by [[Édouard Lalo]]. *In [[Charles Dickens]]' ''[[A Tale of Two Cities]]'', the revolutionaries call themselves "Jacques". *[[Eugène Sue|Eugène Sue's]] novel ''The Iron Trevet'' (part of Sue's "Mysteries of the People" sequence) gives a sympathetic account of the Jacquerie rebels.<ref>"''The Iron Trevet'': Deals with the Jacquerie revolts and the peasants alliance with the revolutionary bourgeois of Paris..." Advertisement for "Mysteries of the People" by Eugène Sue. ''The New Review'' magazine, April 1915 (p. 245).</ref> *In [[Thomas Love Peacock]]'s ''[[Crotchet Castle]]'', Dr Folliott compares a local riot with the Jacquerie and expresses nostalgia for "that blessed middle period, after the Jacquerie was down and before the [[March of Intellect|March of Mind]] was up". *[[Arthur Conan Doyle]]'s historical novel "[[The White Company]]" includes a chapter where the English [[free company]] of the title rescue French nobility from peasants of the Jacquerie - portrayed as savage and brutish. *The 1961 novel ''[[A Walk with Love and Death]]'' by [[Hans Koning]]sberger takes place in northern France during the Jacquerie. The revolt provided the basis for a film of the same name directed by [[John Huston]] in 1969. *A somewhat fictionalized version of the Jacquerie is featured in the 1962 ''[[Blake and Mortimer]]'' comic album ''[[The Time Trap (comics)|The Time Trap]]''. * German progressive rock band [[Eloy (band)|Eloy's]] 1975 concept album ''[[Power and the Passion (album)|Power and the Passion]]'' partially takes place in France in 1358 with the Jacquerie being an important part of the story. * In the satirical short story ‘The Stampeding of Lady Bastable’ c.1911 by [[Saki]] (Hector Hugh Munro) the following appears: ‘...Lady Bastable was roused from the world of newspaper lore by hearing a Japanese screen in the hall go down with a crash. Then the door leading from the hall flew open and her young guest tore madly through the room, shrieked at her in passing, "The jacquerie! They're on us!" and dashed like an escaping hawk out through the French window. The scared mob of servants burst in on his heels, the gardener still clutching the sickle with which he had been trimming hedges, and the impetus of their headlong haste carried them, slipping and sliding, over the smooth parquet flooring towards the chair where their mistress sat in panic-stricken amazement.’
