Dr Wilkins's anthology includes many of the finest poems of this period, showing the diversity of themes and structure and their richness and vitality. In his introduction, Dr Wilkins explains the structure and derivation of the fixed forms and gives an exposition of the characteristic themes. A biographical note introduces each poet or school of poets and there is a commentary for each of the poems, bibliographies, a glossary and indexes.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Jehan de Lescurel\u003cbr\u003e Jehan Acart de Hesdin\u003cbr\u003e Guillaume de Machaut\u003cbr\u003e The post-Machaut generation\u003cbr\u003e Jehan Froissart\u003cbr\u003e Le livre des cent ballades\u003cbr\u003e Eustache deschamps\u003cbr\u003e Christine de Pisan\u003cbr\u003e Alain Chartier\u003cbr\u003e Fifteenth-century lyric pieces set to music\u003cbr\u003e Charles D'Orleans\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Musical examples\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Glossary\u003cbr\u003e Index of names\u003cbr\u003e Alphabetical index of first lines.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Literary studies: general [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Literary studies: general\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Literary%20studies:%20general%20%5BDSB%5D%22\"\u003eDSB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46006478897432,"sku":"9780521110327","price":28.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521110327i_adf75b15-1eb5-4256-bb82-a7c8aaca174e.jpg?v=1691371163","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/one-hundred-ballades-rondeaux-and-virelais-from-the-late-middle-ages-paperback-9780521110327","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
