Book Synopsis
This bilingual edition contains an introduction to the three major periods of the troubadours - their beginning, rise, and decline - as well as headnotes that briefly put each poet in context. Lark in the Morning will become an essential collection for those interested in learning about and teaching the origins of Western vernacular poetry.

Trade Review
"Kehew is quite correct in recognizing the need to convey what troubadour poetry was like as a lyric, as poetry. What's available in English and French by way of anthologies of the troubadours tends to be prose translations, whose pretension to linguistic accuracy can hardly compensate for their clunky renditions. In Lark in the Morning, we have an anthology of the troubadours translated into English verse that indeed does convey the poetic achievement of this crucial group of poets." - Stephen G. Nichols, The Johns Hopkins University"
