In this comprehensive and illuminating study, Daniel E. O\u0026amp;#x2019;Sullivan examines the movement between secular and religious traditions in medieval culture that Old French religious song embodies. He demonstrates that Marian lyric was far more than a simple, mindless imitation of secular love song. On the contrary, Marian lyric participated in a dynamic interplay with the secular tradition that different composers shaped and reshaped in light of particular doctrinal and aesthetic concerns. It is a corpus that reveals itself to be far more malleable and supple than past readers have admitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith an extensive index of musical and textual editions of dozens of songs, \u003ci\u003eMarian Devotion in Thirteenth-Century French Lyric\u003c\/i\u003e brings a heretofore neglected genre to light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcknowledgments \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Introduction: Secular and Religious in Medieval Culture\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1: Gautier de Coinci's Marian Poetics of Familiar Strangeness\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul style='\"list-style-type:' none\u003e \u003cli\u003e The Human and Divine in Harmony\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e'Amours, qui bien set enchanter' (I Ch 3\/RS 851)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e'Roÿne celestre' (I Ch 5\/RS 956, 1903)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e 'D'une amour quoie et serie' (II Ch 5\/RS 1212)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2: Thibaut de Champagne, Genre, and the Medieval Taste for Hybrids\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul style='\"list-style-type:' none\u003e \u003cli\u003e Thibaut in the Line of Gautier\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Thibaut's Hybridized Marian Songs\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e'Commencerai a fere un lai': Genre and Aesthetic Play\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Chapter 3: Voicing Marian Devotion in Women's Devotional Song \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul style='\"list-style-type:' none\u003e \u003cli\u003e Songs in the Voice of Everywoman\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReligious Women Voicing Marian Devotion\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Mary's Voice: 'Lasse, que devendrai giÉ'\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 4: Jacques de Cambrai, Distinctive Traditionalism, and Kaleidoscopic Contrafacta\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul style='\"list-style-type:' none\u003e \u003cli\u003e Choices of Motif, Theme, and Model: The Case for Distinctive Traditionalism\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Towards a Generative Model of Kaleidoscopic Contrafacture\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Traditionalism, Innovation, and ';Retrowange novelle'\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e The Future of Old French Marian Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Chapter 5: Rutebeuf: Beyond the World of Marian Song \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul style='\"list-style-type:' none\u003e \u003cli\u003e Rutebeuf's Polemical Marian Poetry\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Marian Devotion Dramatized\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhen Mary Intercedes: 'Un dist de Nostre Dame'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Conclusion: Contrafacture and Cultural Exchange\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix of textual and musical editions of songs and poems\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBibliography \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52676666917144,"sku":"9781487526238","price":19.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/marian-devotion-in-thirteenth-century-french-lyric-paperback-softback-9781487526238","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
