Ranging from 500 to 1200, this book considers the neglected vernacular music of this period, performed mainly by women.

Recenzje

'This study seeks to shed light on a large body of female song in Vulgar Latin and early Romance languages from around 500 to 1200 CE. … This study will be valuable as a teaching resource. It provides useful surveys of scholarship and a coherent narrative for these songs. … will surely beckon further research on these bits of song in their manuscript context.' Karen L. Fresco, Studies in Medieval and Renaissance Teaching (SMART)
