Item description from seller

Hardback. First Edition. The Medieval Erotica Alba. Structure as Meaning. Slight foxing to end inside covers. Wear, tear and repair to D/J. The alba is a form of lyric poetry which made its first appearance in Southern France during the middle of the twelfth century and which rapidly spread to most of the other countries of medieval Europe. The poems were written in Provecal, in Medieval French, and in Middle High German, and they later appeared in England as parts of longer works by Chaucer and Shakespeare. The plot is always the same: the ecstatic love-making of a knight and a lady (not the knight's wife) is interrupted by the dawn, announced by the song of birds or by the warning voice of a watchman. The lovers prtest the interruption, but inevitably must part; the knight goes off into the outer world and the lady remains behind in anguish. This study forcuses on the alba and attempts to understand its tenchinques and meanings not only in its own terms but also for the light such understanding throws on other forms of medieval lyric and their later derivatives. 315 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
