Synopsis
This sudy focuses on the alba and attempts to understand its techniques and meanings not only in its own terms but also for the light of understanding it throws on other forms of medieval lyric and their later derivatives. Dr. Saville suggests that certain structures of the imagination which find expression in the medieval alba are characteristic of the medieval mind in general and may be detected in the other manifestations of medieval culture, including theology, the visual arts, and certain aspects of everyday life.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: very good. First edition. First edition. Hardcover. 315 pp. with index, bibliography. A study of the form of lyric poetry known as the "alba", a form which first made its appearance in Southern France in the mid-12th century and rapidly spread to the other countries of medieval Europe. The plot was always similar: the ecstatic love-making of a knight and a lady (not his wife) is interrupted by the dawn, signalled by bird song or the call of a watchman. The lovers must part, the knight going off into the world while the lady remains behind in anguish. Fine in dust jacket with fade to the spine. Seller Inventory # E12251
