Reviews

Winthrop Wetherbee, Department of English, Cornell University:

A book of great importance. Huot has effectively redefined an entire field of study, and From Song to Book is going to stimulate a great deal of further innovative work. What makes the book really exceptional is that it also contains superb readings of a body of significant, closely related, and so far relatively unstudied courtly texts; and it incorporates the dynamics of the process of compilation and transmission into the study of the poetry itself better than any criticism I have seen.
