Butterfield argues (with a leisurely and finely developed subtlety that is impossible to capture fully here) … Butterfield's illumination of how song and narrative changed from the thirteenth to the fourteenth century is innovative and compelling…like a medieval narrative the book repays more than one reading; its multitude of strands weaves a tapestry whose aspect changes from one viewing to the next. Butterfield's research has opened new doors of inquiry that are sure to reinvigorate our study of medieval French song.

She begins with the moment when French song first survives in writing in the early thirteenth century, and examines a large corpus of works which combine elements of narrative and song, as well as a range of genres which cross between different musical and literary categories. Emphasising the cosmopolitan artistic milieu of Arras, Butterfield describes the wide range of contexts in which secular songs were quoted and copied, including narrative romances, satires and love poems. She uses manuscript evidence to shed light on medieval perceptions of how music and poetry were composed and interpreted. The volume is well illustrated to demonstrate the rich visual culture of medieval French writing and music. This interdisciplinary study will be of interest to both literary and musical scholars of late medieval culture.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of illustrations\u003cbr\u003e List of tables\u003cbr\u003e List of music examples\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Bibliographical note\u003cbr\u003e List of abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e Prologue\u003cbr\u003e Part I.
