In a daring rewrite of literary history, this volume argues that
the medieval poet and musician Guillaume de Machaut was the major
influence in narrative craft during the late Middle Ages and long
after. Examining Machaut's series of debate poems, part of the
French tradition of the "dit amoureux" (love tales), contributors
highlight the genre's authorial self-consciousness, polyvocality,
and ambiguity of judgment. They contend that Machaut led the way in
developing and spreading these radical techniques and that his
innovations in form and content were forerunners of the modern
novel.
