EBook For Song, Landscape, and Identity in Medieval Northern France 1st Edition By Jennifer Saltzstein

Song, Landscape, and Identity in Medieval Northern France looks at how songs from the medieval period showed the connection between people and the places they lived. Author Jennifer Saltzstein uses ideas from history, music, and nature studies to explore how songs written by the trouvères (medieval poets from northern France) used images of nature to reflect the land and climate around them. She explains that these songs can show how the environment influenced the composers and how the composers’ surroundings affected their music. Saltzstein shows that the nature described in the songs can be realistic, hopeful, or longing for the past. She also argues that these songs helped medieval people see themselves as part of their specific land, shaping their identity and connection to their environment.
