In this comprehensive and illuminating study, Daniel E. O’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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments    Introduction: Secular and Religious in Medieval Culture    Chapter 1: Gautier de Coinci's Marian Poetics of  Familiar Strangeness        The Human and Divine in Harmony   'Amours, qui bien set enchanter' (I  Ch 3\/RS 851)   'Roÿne celestre' (I Ch 5\/RS 956, 1903)    'D'une amour quoie et serie' (II Ch 5\/RS 1212)  Chapter 2: Thibaut de Champagne, Genre, and the  Medieval Taste for Hybrids       Thibaut in the Line of Gautier    Thibaut's Hybridized Marian Songs   'Commencerai a fere un lai': Genre and Aesthetic Play   Chapter 3: Voicing Marian Devotion in Women's Devotional Song        Songs in the Voice of Everywoman   Religious Women Voicing Marian Devotion    Mary's Voice: 'Lasse, que devendrai gié'       Chapter 4: Jacques de Cambrai, Distinctive Traditionalism, and  Kaleidoscopic Contrafacta       Choices of Motif, Theme, and Model: The Case for Distinctive  Traditionalism    Towards a Generative Model of Kaleidoscopic Contrafacture    Traditionalism, Innovation, and ';Retrowange novelle'    The Future of Old French Marian Song   Chapter 5: Rutebeuf: Beyond the World of Marian Song        Rutebeuf's Polemical Marian Poetry    Marian Devotion Dramatized   When Mary Intercedes: 'Un dist de Nostre    Dame'   Conclusion: Contrafacture and Cultural Exchange  Appendix of textual and musical editions of songs  and poems  Notes   Bibliography   Index\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49409157923159,"sku":"9781487526238","price":18.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781487526238.jpg?v=1730505681","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/marian-devotion-in-thirteenthcentury-french-lyric-9781487526238","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
