The troubadours of Roussillon had to wait more than 700 years for their songs to be assembled in a single collection. Michel Adroher explains how these unknown poet-musicians hold a place in the world of lyrical, medieval Catalan that is at once original and conforming to tradition. Les troubadours roussillonais investigates their work, their predilection for the canso, the thematic concern for courtly love, and the influence of Occitan literature. -- Translated and adapted from the French publisher's description.
