The historical existence of women trouvres in northern France during the 12th and 13th centuries has been doubted, largely because many songs were anonymous., This groundbreaking anthology brings together for the first time the works of women poet-composers, or trouveres, in northern France in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Refuting the long-held notion that there are no extant Old France lyrics by women from this period, the editors of the volume present songs attributed to eight named female trouveres along with a varied selection of anonymous compositions in the feminine voice that may have been composed by women. This 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.
