Notes:

Includes bibliographical references and index.Appendix: Text in Old French and English in parallel columns."As hybrid texts, Old French Marian songs combine motifs from several genres and registers to articulate a devotional message. In this study, Daniel E. O'Sullivan examines the movement between secular and religious traditions in medieval culture embodied by Old French religious song. He demonstrates that Marian lyric was far more than a simple, mindless imitation of secular love song."--Jacket
