The Women Troubadours by Meg Bogin
This is the first twentieth-century study of the women troubadours who flourished in Southern France between 1150 and 1250--the great period of troubadour poetry. The book is comprised of a full-length essay on women in the Middle Ages, twenty-three poems by the women troubadours themselves in the original Provencal with translations on facing pages, a capsule biography of each poet, notes, and reading list.
A study that fascinates. . . A thorough and insightful tribute to those women . . . who left for us a few, clarion, powerful love poems. -- Janet Beeler - American Poetry Review
Meg Bogin has lit the poems of the women of an earlier age . . . and given them to us in their full power. -- Muriel Rukeyser
