This is, of course, a vast and intractable subject: 1 some four centuries, and a number of competing disciplines. 2 I can do no more, therefore, than concentrate on what I would see as the main lines of investigation that scholars are currently pursuing, and invite those interested to turn to a major research bibliography specific to this area, Encomia (published annually by the International Courtly Literature Society). I shall intend principally to address more thematically based work, or studies of individual poets which have a resonance beyond their single subject -which is not, let me emphasize, to underestimate the value and importance of studies on individual poets: on the contrary, I recognize that the last twenty years or so have witnessed the publication of some of the best and most imaginative analyses that we have so far seen. Simply, in the limited space available, it is impossible to do them justiceand it will be more valuable for the reader, perhaps, to have some idea of the wide range of current critical discussion, and indirectly therefore of the directions which research might usefully follow. I shall also, incidentally, separate the earlier Middle Ages (twelfth and thirteenth centuries) from the later, partly because it has been traditional to do so, partly because, whereas the courtly lyric of the earlier period maintains the link between music and verse, the fourteenth century, as crystallized in Eustache Deschamps's distinction between musique naturelle and musique artificielle, voice and music, 3 sees a growing distinction between the poem proper and any musical accompaniment
