DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Troubadours at Home, Vol. 1: Their Lives and Personalities, Their, Songs and Their World Daudet tells of a Provencal piper who made delightful music at Montmajour, but at Paris - where the proper surroundings did not exist - appeared only contemptible. It has seemed to me that the poems of the troubadours suffer in a similar way. One judges them not only apart from their music, but - what is even more unfortunate - apart from the circumstances that reinforced them, without regard to the life, the events, the localities, and the personalities that formed their setting, and then one pronounces them feeble and monotonous. The purpose of my book is to place this literature before the reader somewhat as it originally appeared, and in a word I have attempted, within the necessary limitations, to represent the world of the troubadours, to place them in it as living persons, and to put into their mouths their poems as they made them, -only in another language.
