Aprašymas

Raimbaut d'Aurenga's work has always been seen as inaccessible--too clever, self-referential, ironic, prickly--and he has largely defied definitive interpretation. However, when read today through the insights of queer theory and philology, we can better appreciate it as a form of dissent, addressed to a select group of fellow poets and insider audiences. A master of trobar clus--hermeneutic rhetoric reliant on invented vocabulary, unexpected similes and metaphors, and imprecise referents--Raimbaut redirected poetic energy away from the love topoi that then dominated the courts and directed it toward metaphysical and transgressive alternatives involving psychic connections between nature and the body; changing hierarchies between lord and joglar; men and women; men and men; and the community standards that confined him. The book concludes with new translations and commentary on twenty-four of his compositions.
