  Abstract: This thirty-eighth volume of Tenso includes articles by a younger generation of scholars, the expected run of bibliographies and a discography, too many necrologies, as well as a new feature, a review forum, introduced more fully on page 59. The principle of the forum reflects in print what the Société Guilhem IX has done for years at its Kalamazoo sessions: bring together scholars who discuss a recent publication followed by a response from the author. I invite readers to ponder what volumes might constitute a good core for similar Tenso review forums in the future and also invite readers to offer their contributions to this first forum on the trobairitz.Attentive readers, librarians, and bibliographers will have ...

  Abstract: As the progenitors of fin'amors, what we know today as courtly love, the troubadours of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries were masters of the language of love, conveying through their songs the emotions associated with fin'amors. Though the formulaic nature of the troubadour cansos may cause scholars to classify any invoked emotions as performative, nevertheless it is the very performed nature of the cansos that was no doubt meant to inspire those emotions in the troubadours' audience. Old Occitan contains complex, multivalent words of emotion for which the modern reader would be hard-pressed to find a clear-cut equivalent, even in modern French. I argue that the troubadours expressly used these polysemous words ... Read More

  Abstract: Since its rediscovery in the nineteenth century, La Chanson de Girart de Roussillon has proven itself as opaque as it is revelatory, perhaps explaining why it has commandeered the attention of a small core group of scholars for well over a century. It has found itself at the center of debates related to identity in the Midi, major versus minor linguistic and literary traditions, and national mythologies—debates that retain their immediacy even now. A chanson de geste, the narrative centers on Girart, a baron whose battles with the king Charles Martel over vast southern lands result in the spilling of much blood, years of exile, and ultimately the brutal murder of Girart's infant son.1La Chanson de Girart de ...

  Abstract: Created and directed by Anna Ferrari, the project Intavulare has published thirteen volumes on eighteen Occitan songbooks, five volumes on eight French chansonniers, and one volume dedicated to an Italian canzoniere.1 As stated in the original preface by Aurelio Roncaglia, the project's name is inspired by Renaissance humanists who compiled tables of medieval codices that often circulated separately from their sources ([2001] 2020, v–vi). These tavole umanistiche informed scholars on the presence of texts and authors contained in a manuscript, though they did not identify where these texts could be found specifically or their placement in relation to other texts in the codex (Ferrari 2020, viii). The title ... Read More

  Abstract: When Tenso was founded, its name was chosen to suggest debate and discussion. In the following pages, we present a review forum, a new kind of academic debate for this journal. We borrow this concept from H-France <https://h-france.net/>, whose editors describe the format in these terms: "H-France Forum … presents reviews of recently published books and a response essay to those reviews by the book's author." The frequent H-France online forums allow critics and authors to debate a common topic by focusing on a single book; each H-France forum is organized by a special editor. For this first Tenso run, Wendy Pfeffer has served as editor; scholars are welcome to contact Tenso about other books worthy of this ... Read More

  Abstract: Frédérique Le Nan's study focuses on the small but remarkable group of women poets who participated in the troubadour tradition. She approaches them directly through their extant corpus but, most especially, indirectly by way of their passage through time, as she follows their traces: first, in medieval manuscripts; then, beginning with Jehan de Nostredame in the sixteenth century, through a series of historical references to some of the women's names and fictionalized lives; and finally in the scholarly assessments of their numbers and works by nineteenth and twentieth century philologists, literary historians, and medievalists whose published research and anthologies provide the foundation for Le Nan's analysis ...

  Abstract: El libro de Frédérique Le Nan tiene por objetivo la presentación de la producción poética de las nobles occitanas que conocemos como trobairitz en el período comprendido entre 1170 y 1240. La obra traza un panorama exhaustivo y actualizado de la personalidad y obra de estas poetisas, del que destacaría el abordaje interdisciplinar; la exposición ágil y amena, accesible incluso para el lector no especialista; así como la acertada selección de textos, que la estudiosa comenta con una sensibilidad en la que el rigor filológico se complementa con una mirada atenta al valor estético de las composiciones para un público contemporáneo.El estudio se divide en cinco secciones. Los dos primeros capítulos, orientados a la ... Read More

  Abstract: Très consciente d'avoir accepté une tâche extrêmement délicate en acceptant de faire un compte rendu d'un livre dont un sous-chapitre porte le titre "Les occitanistes dans les années 1980–1990: A. Tavera, A. Rieger, P. Bec" (241–244) et un autre est intitulé "Voix mêlées à l'université: d'Angelica Rieger à Danielle Régnier-Bohler" (245–248), je fais de mon mieux de m'en acquitter sans parti pris et présente d'avance toutes mes excuses si je n'y réussis pas toujours.1 Si le sujet me tient trop à cœur pour éviter toute subjectivité à son égard, il m'aurait néanmoins été difficile de ne pas 'mêler ma voix' une autre fois au discours sur les trobairitz.Mon édition des Trobairitz de 1991 se termine sur l'appel suivant: ...

She was friendly and forthcoming, happy to meet me. As she did for me, she must have done many times beforehand, opening her arms broadly.Her willingness to share her research and findings, not just in the form of publications and conference papers, but also as *.pdf's and attachments to emails, was remarkable.

  Abstract: Simon Gaunt's death at the age of only 62, of complications arising from the treatment of multiple myeloma, was as shocking as it was unexpected. Within days, as the sad news rapidly spread, all the institutions he had worked for published notices of his passing. His funeral was an occasion for much grief and since then, the many communities of which he was a vital member have struggled to come to terms with their loss: his college, King's College London; the medievalist community in the United Kingdom and beyond; the world of French Studies. Simon's capacity to unite the personal with the professional, which was born of personal temperament and fostered by social conviction, meant that everyone he had worked with ... Read More

  Abstract: Douglas Kelly, the University of Wisconsin's Julian Harris Professor of Medieval French Emeritus, died on the morning of March 21, 2022 at the age of 87. In an email, Keith Busby described his late colleague as "one of the great medieval scholars of his generation." Kelly's research was devoted particularly to the topics of rhetoric and romance narrative of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Underlying all of his work is the notion that vernacular poetics were grounded in the Latin arts of poetry. Busby's encomium continued, "He was a great scholar and teacher and the best of men."Douglas received his BA, Phi Beta Kappa, from the University of Southern California (1956), his MA (1959) and Ph.D. (1962) from the ...
