French 112 - From Singers to Poets: Lyric Poetry in Medieval France (12th to 15th Century)

Institution:

Harvard University

Subject:

Description:

Medieval poets created both new poetic forms and new figures of poets. Singers, writers, composers, lovers, dreamers, rhetoricians, moralists, and preachers: poets could be all of those. This course studies how their poetry grew from and elaborated upon the impulse "I have to sing" to become a highly self-conscious art of writing.
