Summary "Les Troubadours: Leurs vies — leurs oeuvres — leur influence" by Joseph Anglade is a scholarly examination of the troubadours, written in the early 20th century. The book explores the lives, works, and the impact of the troubadours, focusing on a significant period in medieval literature characterized by poetic expression and themes of courtly love. The opening of the work sets the stage for a comprehensive discussion about the origins and artistic characteristics of troubadour poetry. Anglade describes the cultural context from which the troubadours emerged, highlighting the influences of Gallo-Roman civilization and the linguistic boundaries of the langue d'oc. He emphasizes that the troubadours were inspired by both popular and elite traditions, weaving together intricate lyrical expressions that reflect an aristocratic ideal of love. The text positions the troubadours within a broader literary tradition, hinting at their eventual decline due to societal changes, while asserting their significance in the development of medieval poetry across different regions, such as France, Spain, and Italy.
