16 - Occitan grammars and the art of troubadour poetry

from V - VERNACULAR CRITICAL TRADITIONS: THE LATE MIDDLE AGES
Export citation
Summary
The troubadours composed in a language that today people call Occitan, though earlier in the twentieth century it was known as Provençal and in the Middle Ages it could be designated by a variety of terms, some reflecting dialect, others merely vernacularity. In the twelfth century, the troubadour lyric is constantly evolving and there are a great many innovative and individualistic figures; in the thirteenth century troubadours are content to rework old themes in a manner that becomes increasingly repetitive and this despite the large quantities of texts still being produced. The literary theory and criticism of the two periods reflect this historical shift and will consequently be given separate treatment. For poetic genres of which few examples are extant, the theorists are a valuable source of information. Vernacular discourse on grammar and rhetoric in the Middle Ages could exist only by adapting the established Latin terminology.
