Secular urban musical culture in Provence and Languedoc during the late Middle Ages

Despite France's prominent role in the history of medieval secular music, scholarship concerning its urban musical culture is generally limited to a few publications by nineteenth-century local historians; in contrast, several recent comprehensive studies building on scholarship of the past two centuries exist for the Low Countries and Germany. This unevenness in scholarship, and the resulting bias in our knowledge, has resulted in discussions of urban musical culture that unintentionally create the false impression that urban musical life outside of the Low Countries and Germany was weak or that necessary evidence to explore these cultures does not exist.
