Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores a series of 12th-century poems called "plazers" and "enuye", or pleasures and annoyances. The author traces the rise of this type of poetry from its origins in Provencal to its spread throughout Europe, in countries such as France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal. The author explains that these poems both share similiar characteristics, such as enumerating a series of annoyances or pleasures, and the repetition of a word or phrase that expresses the attitude of the poet, such as "it vexes me" or "it pleases me." Although the author notes that these poems lack continuity, they are described as reflecting the culture and daily lives of people in the Middle Ages.
