| Notes | Combining extraordinary learning with grace of style, this volume provides the first comprehensive work in English on the poetic heritage of the medieval troubadours and the particular impact of the troubadour tradition on Italian and English verse. The songs of the troubadours with their intense lyricism "answered the mood of a feudal society newly awakened to a sense of its native uncouthness by contact with the luxury of the Orient." "Of particular interest is his voluminous chapter, 'Moorish Origin'... in which Briffault traces the influence of Hispano-Mauresque culture on the Troubadours. ... A must for specialists and undergraduates alike."—Choice "There is much in Briffault's book that is of value to the student of medieval literature. His translations from the Arabic and the Provencal are delightful." William Macbain, Modern Language Journal |
