By John Addington Symonds

Book Overview

Wine, Women and Song: Mediaeval Latin Students' Songs is a collection of humorous and bawdy songs that were popular among medieval Latin students. The book is edited and translated by John Addington Symonds, a prominent Victorian scholar and writer. The songs cover a wide range of topics, including love, sex, drinking, and gambling. They provide a unique glimpse into the daily lives and culture of medieval students, who were often seen as rowdy and rebellious. Symonds' translations capture the playful and irreverent spirit of the songs, making them accessible to a modern audience. The book includes an introduction that provides historical context and explains the significance of the songs in medieval culture. Wine, Women and Song is a fascinating and entertaining read for anyone interested in medieval history, literature, or popular culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
