Review(s)
“The collection allows scholars to reflect not just on Machaut himself, but on the study of Machaut, specifically, and of medieval music, poetry, art, and culture more broadly. Readers interested in many aspects of medieval studies will find useful ideas here. (…) graduate students and scholars will find them rewarding.” (Zoe Tall Weiss, in The Medieval Review, 06.10.23)
“In all, this is a richly informative and stimulating volume that will be appreciated by all those working in the fields of late medieval French poetry, music, and manuscript studies.” (S.H., in Medium Ævum, XCII/2, 2023, p. 423)

Summary
This multidisciplinary volume celebrates the scholarship and career of Lawrence Earp, whose work has profoundly shaped the fields of Machaut studies, musicology, codicology, and fourteenth-century studies in general. For over four decades, Earp’s meticulous scholarship and generosity in collaboration have been a constant inspiration for medieval scholars, students, and colleagues alike. The twenty-six innovative essays herein gratefully acknowledge his influence and showcase a variety of fresh approaches. Recognizing both the breadth and depth of Earp’s work, the sections of this book are devoted to bibliography, historiography, literature, art history, and several musicological topics. Many of the chapters focus on the oeuvre of Guillaume de Machaut, but readers will also find explorations on Hildegard of Bingen, Philippe de Vitry, child performers in medieval theater, notation, genre, motets from the late thirteenth to the early fifteenth centuries, and polyphony in Italy and England. Made possible by Earp’s foundational and guiding work, this amply illustrated volume invites future interdisciplinary research.
