The book offers a translation of medieval Latin songs from wandering students, accompanied by an essay that examines the cultural and societal contexts of these lyrics. Through this collection, the author explores themes of love, pleasure, and the human experience during the often-misunderstood Middle Ages, challenging conventional perceptions of the era’s intellectual and moral landscape. The opening of the text introduces the reader to the contrasting views of the Middle Ages, characterized by a profound spiritual focus and often exaggerated claims of ignorance and superstition. Symonds articulates the need to reevaluate these stereotypes, presenting an alternative depiction through the vibrant, unapologetic, and often secular songs of the wandering students, who celebrated earthly pleasures. The narrative delves into the poets' backgrounds, their lifestyle as vagrant scholars, and the recurring motifs of love and wine in their compositions, aimed at redefining modern understanding of medieval intellectual and artistic life.
