This volume is the second of the thirteen in preparation that will offer the first complete scholarly edition of the poetry and music of Guillaume de Machaut, the foremost practitioner of these related arts at the end of the Middle Ages in France. It provides a freshly prepared edition based on the most reliable manuscript of two of Machaut's best known dits, the Remede de Fortune (Remedy for Fortune) and the Confort d'ami (Consolation from a Friend), both of which adapt the central ideas of Boethian philosophy to the love poetry tradition. The French texts are accompanied by facing English translations, and the musical passages are presented in situ in a performance-accessible form.
R. Barton Palmer is Calhoun Lemon Professor of Literature at Clemson University, and the editor/translator of many Middle French texts, including works by Machaut.
Dr Uri Smilansky studied at the University of Exeter and at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, and is director and founder of Ensemble Le Basile.
