This book presents a selection of Occitan poetry, creating an illuminating panorama of medieval Provençal literature through the works of major troubadours and knights, from c. 1100 to 1300. This poetry spanned many themes, from lyrical celebrations of chivalry, to lamentations mourning the death of noble patrons and tales of courtly love. Rooted in the unique realities of medieval Provenceâ"a society juggling feudal obligations with the rise of a money economy and new religious movementsâ"the poems in this volume offer a lens into the formation of modern European culture. The author provides helpful notes and analysis to support readers through this exciting and revealing collection.
