A Companion to Guillaume de Machaut de Deborah McGrady

A Companion to Guillaume de Machaut: Brill's Companions to the Christian Tradition, cartea 33

Editat de Deborah McGrady, Jennifer Bain Traducere de Jeanette Patterson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 26 aug 2012
Offering the first comprehensive study of Guillaume de Machaut’s vast corpus of text and music, the 18 essays in this collection explore the author’s engagement with the ethical, political, and aesthetic concerns of his time. Building on interdisciplinary interest in Machaut, this collection broadens discussion of his work by exploring overlapping interests in his poetry and music; addressing lesser-studied writings; offering fresh perspectives on lyric, authorial voice, and performance; and engaging more critically with his reception by medieval bookmakers, modern editors, and the music industry. The result is a promising map for future research in the field that will be of interest to students and specialists alike.

‘’Machaut’s literary and musical accomplishments stand out in both breadth and depth in the fourteenth as well as in the twenty-first century. This recent addition to Machaut scholarship will be a generating force for research in the near future and will provide new avenues and multidisciplinary approaches to his work that will keep scholars busy for the next decade.’’
Bradford Lee Eden, Valparaiso University. In: Sixteenth Century Journal,Vol. 45, No. 2, 2014, p.432.

‘’The editors have done a formidable job at rounding up such a highly impressive group of established scholars, and these authors have provided a substantial body of rich, stimulating scholarship. I recommend the volume for non-specialists and specialists alike, for it will be of great use to both types of readers as the various musical and literary fields of Machaut studies continue to develop in the coming years.’’
