- Description
- Fourteen essays by various authors on French poets Machaut, Froissart, Deschamps, Christine de Pizan, Charles d'Orelans, and Villon. The essays emphasize the determining material effects of the courtly mode of production, especially the roles of the courtly patron and, later in the fifteenth century, the print editor. Six essays, now revised, originally appeared in a 1987 issue of Studies in the Literary Imagination. The other eight first appear in this volume. For three essays that pertain to Chaucer, search for Chaucer's French Contemporaries under Alternative Title.
