Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Troubadours and Trouv�����res New and Old is a book by Harriet Preston that explores the world of medieval French poetry and music. The troubadours and trouv�����res were poets and musicians who lived in the south and north of France respectively during the 12th and 13th centuries. They wrote in a variety of genres, including love songs, political and satirical poems, and religious hymns. The book provides an overview of the history and culture of medieval France, as well as the social and political context in which the troubadours and trouv�����res lived and worked. It also includes translations of some of the most famous and influential works of these poets, as well as musical notations for some of their songs. Preston's book is intended for both scholars and general readers who are interested in medieval literature and music. It offers a comprehensive introduction to the world of the troubadours and trouv�����res, as well as a deeper understanding of their contributions to the development of French language and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
