Bøger af James I. Wimsatt

Guillaume de Machaut is the most important poet and composer of late medieval France. His unique and inventive output is the subject of this edition of Machaut's poetry. Le Jugement Du Roy De Behaigne and Remede De Fortune are among de Machaut's most important works artistically.

James I. Wimsatt edits Guillaume de Machaut's important Dit de la fleur de lis et de la Marguerite; he identifies an acrostic connecting the earlier Dit de la Marguerite and Complainte VI with the crusader Pierre of Cyprus; and he established a probable historical framework for the three poems.

A well-researched and highly detailed book, Hopkins's Poetics of Speech Sound asserts major significance for a relatively neglected aspect of this important poet's writings.
