The studies show the extent to which love poems/songs by well-known
medieval authors display links with supra-individual discourse
conventions of the age in which they materialized. Central
reference is made to Old Occitan troubadour songs of the 12th and
early 13th centuries and Old Italian texts from the 13th and 14th
centuries (notably by Giacomo di Lentini, Dante, and Petrarch). The
comparison traces the gradual emergence of a lyrical 'I' reflecting
the knowledge of the age and thus in a position to inquire into its
own role. At all points in this development, poetry is seen to
engage vigorously with the central epistemes of the dominant
discourse forms, notably theology and philosophy.
