Originally published in 1994, The Short Lyric Poems of Jean
Froissart is a meticulous reading of the important but generally
neglected short lyric poems of Jean Froissart. The book situates
Froissart within the cultural and literary context of
fourteenth-century Europe and examines a representative number of
his lyric forms (pastourelles, chansons royales, ballades,
virelais, and rondeaux) demonstrating their richness of theme and
poetic virtuosity. The book provides a readable and reliable
English translation, making it possible for English scholars
unfamiliar with the original Middle French forms to understand and
appreciate the influence Froissart had on Chaucer and other authors
of the age. The book focuses on themes, techniques, meters, and
rhythms that Froissart employed in his poetry, on how his poetry
fits poetic tradition, and on the place of Froissart in literary
history.
