Texts centred on the mother of Jesus abound in religious traditions
the world over, but thirteenth-century Old French lyric stands
apart, both because of the enormous size of the Marian cult in
thirteenth-century France and the lack of critical attention the
genre has garnered from scholars.As hybrid texts, Old French Marian
songs combine motifs from several genres and registers to
articulate a devotional message. 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 readers have admitted.With an
extensive index of musical and textual editions of dozens of songs,
Marian Devotion in Thirteenth-Century French Lyric brings a
heretofore neglected genre to light.
