From the works of the troubadours and trouvères of the 14th-century to those of the skalds and scops of the 6th, poetry has been written in Europe for a very long time. Within this volume Todd H. C. Fischer has gathered information on different poetic genres, forms and devices used across Europe during the early, medieval and Renaissance time periods. You may have heard of roundelays, madrigals, ballads, and—of course—sonnets in high school English class, but have you heard of hrynhent, leich, letrilla and zéjel? Mr. Fischer (who holds a double honours BA in English and Creative Writing) has made the study of medieval poetry a passion. He has scoured hundreds of volumes on medieval literature to here gather together information ranging from Anglo-Saxon versification to the obscure fatras of France. Most entries are illustrated by period examples, quoting works by Dante, Shakespeare, Marie de France, Raimbaut of Orange, and many others. Indices at the end of the volume allow easy cross referencing of entries by location and time period. Students of literature, lovers of poetry, and medieval re-creationists alike will find this volume essential.

As one of the early beta-readers for this book, I can state with some confidence that there are very few resources out there that provide such a comprehensive quick-start into writing early poetic forms from so many different centuries, languages and cultures. The author has summarized information from many, many different sources into a single easily-indexable reference volume, including numerous historic and modern examples, and I am confident this book will rapidly become an invaluable resource for both recreational medievalists (including bards and scroll authors from the Society for Creative Anachronism and similar groups), as well as modern-day poetry aficionados and students of literature.Product details
