The similarities between the chanson franAaise and the canzone
d'autore have been often noted but never fully explored. Both
genres are national forms which involve the figure of the
singer-songwriter, both experienced their golden age of production
in the post-World War II period and both are enduringly popular,
still accounting for a large proportion of record sales in their
respective countries. Rachel Haworth looks beyond these superficial
similarities, and investigates the nature of the relationship
between the two genres. Taking a multidisciplinary approach,
encompassing textual analysis of song lyrics, cultural history and
popular music studies, Haworth considers the different ways in
which French and Italian song is thought about, written about and
constructed. Through an in-depth study of the discourse surrounding
chanson and the canzone d'autore, the volume analyses the
development of the genres' rules and rhetoric, identifying the key
themes of Authority, Authenticity and Influence. The book finally
considers the legacy of major artists, looking at modern
perspectives on Georges Brassens, Jacques Brel, Leo Ferre, Fabrizio
De Andre and Giorgio Gaber, ultimately affording a deeper
understanding of the notions of quality and value in the context of
chanson franAaise and the canzone d'autore.
