The singer and the songs: new book on Jaufré

Books about Rudel come along even less frequently than conferences about him, but there's a new one just published.

Chansons pour un amour lointain: Jaufré Rudel, by Roy Rosenstein, Professor of Comparative Literature and English at The American University of Paris, features new translations - into modern French - of Rudel's surviving lyrics (by the poet Yves Leclair), with notes and commentary by Professor Rosenstein.
