Description
The representation of women’s voices in medieval lyric texts, whether composed or performed by men or women, can reveal much about medieval constructions of gender. The three papers in this session will consider these representations in Medieval Carols, the work of Walther von der Vogelweide, and the lyrics of the Findern manuscript.
