The metaphor of marriage often describes the relationship between
poetry and music in both medieval and modern writing. While the
troubadours stand out for their tendency to blur the distinction
between speaking and singing, between poetry and song, a certain
degree of semantic slippage extends into the realm of Italian
literature through the use of genre names like canzone, sonetto,
and ballata. Yet, paradoxically, scholars have traditionally
identified a 'divorce' between music and poetry as the defining
feature of early Italian lyric. Senza Vestimenta reintegrates
poetic and musical traditions in late medieval Italy through a
fresh evaluation of more than fifty literary sources transmitting
Trecento song texts. These manuscripts have been long noted by
musicologists, but until now they have been used to bolster rather
than to debunk the notion that so-called 'poesia per musica' was
relegated to the margins of poetic production. Jennings revises
this view by exploring how scribes and readers interacted with song
as a fundamentally interdisciplinary art form within a broad range
of literary settings. Her study sheds light on the broader cultural
world surrounding the reception of the Italian ars nova repertoire
by uncovering new, diverse readers ranging from wealthy merchants
to modest artisans.
