Negative reviews in the troubadour vidas

ABSTRACT An analysis of the negative critical vocabulary found in the Occitan vidas or mini-biographies of the troubadours. Of the 109 troubadours and trobairitz described in 101 vidas, roughly one-quarter receive a negative evaluation. Targeted are singing ability, compositional talent, the quality of the songs or lyrics; there are also professional put-downs. Demonstrating a limited word hoard, the vidas offer insights into the aesthetic judgements of Uc de Saint Circ, who tended to make unnuanced, black and white judgements.
