The Troubadours

From royalty to minstrels, troubadours sang of medieval love, war and society.

Description

Composing songs of love and war in medieval Western and Southern Europe, troubadours spanned the social spectrum from powerful nobles to penniless minstrels.

This book delves into the everyday worlds of these remarkable poet-musicians, famed for their innovative use of language and music as well as the lasting impact of their work on audiences then and now.

The troubadours' songs explored ideas about courtly love as well as medieval perceptions of gender, class, war, and chivalry.

The Troubadours, by Linda M. Paterson, examines the troubadours' music, performance, and legacy, pairing fresh translations with the original texts to highlight the enduring beauty of their songs and poetry.
