Abstract

268 Reviews that it is precisely in their seeming admissions of incompetence that we find the most powerful assertions of early modern women's rhetorical skill and confidence. Jennifer Clement Department of English, Cinema Studies, and Digital Humanities The University of Canterbury, Christchurch Peraino, Judith A., Giving Voice to Love: Song and Self-Expression from the Troubadours to Guillaume de Machaut, Oxford, Oxford University Press, 2011; hardback; pp. 368; 13 b/w illustrations, 25 tables; R.R.P. £30.00; ISBN 9780199757244. Romantic love has long been a popular choice of subject for literary historians of the Middle Ages, from studies of the invention of fin'amor, to more recent interdisciplinary and trans-historical surveys that use the medieval period to help explain the saturation of secular love in twenty-first-century Western culture. Judith Peraino has published extensively on love songs in the High Middle Ages, but equally widely on the lyrics of P. J. Harvey, David Bowie, and Madonna.
