| Title | Images of Women in the Trobairitz' Poetry (Vocabulary and Imagery) |
| Summary | The present study has focused on the poetry of the trobairitz, who wrote during 1180-1260 in Occitania, in the environment of the court. Its purpose is to extract the images of women as depicted in and through the vocabulary and the imagery. The study of vocabulary and imagery seemed the best way to understand the significance and the richness of the types of women depicted in the poems: the conscious woman, the authoritative figure, the fighter, the lover, the beloved, the uncourtly woman. The present study has mainly concentrated on presenting diverse types of women, by synthesising evidence of the vocabulary and of the images as seen in almost all the poems, which has not been previously done. Other things could also be said about the woman in the trobairitz poems, bringing more examples from the rhetoric used, from the versification, or from the analysis of some aspects of grammar (morphologic evidence, types of subordination, negation), which were not the point of this study. |
