Courtly Song in Late Sixteenth-Century France

by Jeanice Brooks

In the late 16th century, the French royal court was mobile. To distinguish itself from the rest of society, it depended more on its cultural practices and attitudes than on the royal and aristocratic palaces it inhabited. Using courtly song - or the air de cour - as a window, Jeanice Brooks offers an unprecedented look into the culture of this itinerant institution.
