Troubadours and Trouveres New and Old by Harriet Preston is a comprehensive study of the medieval musical and poetic traditions of the troubadours and trouveres. The book provides an in-depth exploration of the history, culture, and artistic output of these two groups of poets and musicians who flourished in southern France and northern France respectively during the 12th and 13th centuries.Preston's book is divided into two parts, with the first section focusing on the troubadours and the second on the trouveres. Each section contains chapters that examine various aspects of the respective traditions, including the historical context, the social and cultural milieu, the musical and poetic forms, and the major figures and works.The book draws on a wide range of primary and secondary sources, including manuscripts, music scores, literary texts, and historical records. Preston also provides a detailed analysis of the musical and poetic techniques used by the troubadours and trouveres, and explores their influence on later literary and musical traditions.Overall, Troubadours and Trouveres New and Old is an authoritative and engaging study of two of the most important and influential musical and poetic traditions of the medieval period. It will be of interest to scholars and students of medieval literature, music, and culture, as well as to general readers interested in the history and aesthetics of these fascinating traditions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
