These women stood both within and outside the troubadour tradition  so their work is interesting for social and literary-historical reasons as well as for its aesthetic merit. Many of their twenty-eight surviving poems are love songs in which the trobairitz expresses her desire with a freshness that places her in startling contrast with the speechless  unresponsive lady depicted in the poetry of male troubadours.  The Voice of the Trobairitz includes eleven original studies by leading scholars in America and Europe. Approaching the trobairitz from varying perspectives  the authors ask such questions as: which poems are properly attributed to the women? Which poetic forms and techniques did they employ? Is there a distinctive feminine rhetoric in the poems  and do they attempt to mold the role offered them by the troubadours or do they subside into passivity? Padens introduction describes the historical context of the trobairitz  and he includes a checklist of the poems  a meticulous bibliography  and an index.  The Voice of the Trobairitz will be a valuable resource for all medieval scholars and students and for those interested in  womens history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45647036350517,"sku":"ByrdShop_0812281675","price":66.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780812281675.jpg?v=1781686458","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-voice-of-the-trobairitz-perspectives-on-the-women-troubadours-anniversary-collection-9780812281675","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
