The trouvères were singer-songwriters of northern France in the 12th and 13th centuries. This 1995 critical edition of 217 trouvère lyrics is an enlarged, updated version of Chanter m’estuet (1981), with translations into modern French by Marie-Geneviève Grossel. (The 1981 edition did not give translations for the Old French texts. The modern French translations are included to help the reader comprehend the original texts, which are in the French of more than 800 years ago.) This anthology was developed through the painstaking examination of early manuscripts, microfilms, photostats, and diplomatic editions; an important part of the project was the selection of representative works from a corpus of about 2,000 surviving lyrics. A melody is also included for about three fourths of the lyrics.
