This
groundbreaking
anthology brings together for the first time the works of women
poet-composers,
or trouvères, in northern France in the twelfth and thirteenth
centuries.
Refuting the long-held notion that there are no extant Old French
lyrics
by women from this period, the editors of the volume present songs
attributed
to eight named female trouvères along with a varied selection of
anonymous compositions in the feminine voice that may have been
composed
by women. The book includes the Old French texts of seventy-five
compositions,
English translations, extant music for eighteen monophonic songs and
nineteen
polyphonic motets, and a substantial introduction.
