It is the artistic use of the female voice (as role, persona, or rhetorical stance) in particular lyrical traditions or by particular poets, that is of interest here. Woman's songs are found in all parts and periods of medieval Europe; the study of medieval woman's song is primarily the study of the image of a voice. This is not an attempt to completely cover the field but to offer an introduction and guide to those who are not familiar with woman's song, and a stimulation to those who are.
John F. Plummer is a professor of English at Vanderbilt University and has published on the works of Chaucer.
