Medieval Occitania, a geographical and linguistic area often referred to as 'the South of France', 'the South', 'the Midi', or more loosely 'Provence', was politically diverse but culturally coherent. It was here that the troubadours created Courtly Love and a new poetic language, which together were to affect the whole course of European literature and sensibilities. The essays made readily accessible in this collection reflect the author's many-sided interests in the troubadours and the society from which they sprang: the historical and cultural place of the women forming the ostensible objects of their desire, veneration, or anxieties; the extent to which French notions of chivalry penetrated the South; the nature and meaning of various elements of court culture; the precocious development of medical science in this region; its complex responses to the Crusades; and the question of Occitan identity. Mostly complementing her major publications (The World of the Troubadours, collaborative editions of the songs of the troubadour Marcabru, of the epic fragment the Canso d'Antioca, and of the medieval Occitan tensos and partimens), they provide either more detailed material than found its way into those works, or developments from them. 'Occitan literature and the Holy Land' anticipates a new project on responses to the Crusades in Occitan and Old French lyrics.

Occitania, known today as the "south of France," had its own language and culture in the Middle Ages. Its troubadours created "courtly love" and a new poetic language in the vernacular, which were to influence European literature for centuries. There are many books on the troubadours, but this is the first comprehensive study of the society in which they lived. For readers of literature it offers a wide-ranging insight into the realities that lay behind the poetic mystique. For historians it opens up an important and neglected area of medieval Europe.

An American couple rents a house for three weeks, sight unseen, in Trausse, a village amongst vineyards in the Languedoc region of southern France. Their ambitious plans to visit historical sites of medieval Occitania lead them to unforeseen adventures, from carousing in a local sports bar to getting lost in the wilds of the vast forested mountains of the Parc National du Haut Languedoc. In the Pays du Cathars they learn details of the brutal persecution of the first heretics by 12th century Catholic Crusaders. In the holy city of Lourdes they experience spiritual catharsis and skeptical wonder. After miles of driving through this relatively unexplored French province, they especially enjoy life in the village of Trausse, its annual cherry festival, its unique medieval history, and many characters who have lived there for generations who become their friends.
