This volume brings together literary and musical compositions of
medieval France, including the Occitanian region, identifying the
use of voice in these works as a way of articulating gendered
identities. The contributors to this volume argue that because
medieval texts were often read or sung aloud, voice is central for
understanding the performance, transmission, and reception of work
from the period across a wide variety of genres. These essays offer
close readings of narrative and lyric poetry, chivalric romance,
sermons, letters, political writing, motets, troubadour and
trouvere lyric, crusade songs, love songs, and debate songs.
Through literary, musical, and historiographical analyses,
contributors highlight the voicing of gendered perspectives,
expressions of sexuality, and power dynamics. The volume includes
feminist readings, investigations of masculinity, queer theory, and
intersectional approaches. The contributors interpret literary or
musical works by Chretien de Troyes, Aimeric de Peguilhan, Hue de
la Ferte, the Chastelain de Couci, Jacques de Vitry, Christine de
Pizan, Anne de Graville, Alain Chartier, and Giovanni Boccaccio,
among others. Gender and Voice in Medieval French Literature and
Song offers a valuable interdisciplinary approach and contributes
to the history of women's voices in the Middle Ages and Early
Modern periods. It illuminates the critical role of voice in
negotiating culture, celebrating and innovating traditions,
advancing personal and political projects, and defining the
literary and musical developments that shaped medieval France.
