Guillaume de Machaut
Secretary, Poet, Musician
by Elizabeth Eva Leach
ISBN: 978-0-8014-4933-8 | 360 pages | $59.95/£39.50 hardcover

“In her impressive book on Guillaume de Machaut, Elizabeth Eva Leach synthesizes
a wide body of new scholarship, including historical, literary, musicological, and art
historical materials. Leach takes musical works seriously as integral parts of Machaut’s
artistic program.”—Lawrence Earp, University of Wisconsin–Madison

“This must be the best, and is surely the first really complete, treatment of Machaut, the first to treat him as poet and
musician and courtier, and show why it’s important to do so. I have never read anything that did nearly so good a
job of showing how musical and poetic language interact.”—Winthrop Wetherbee, Cornell University

“The first book-length account of Machaut’s life and works to include the perspective of musicology as well as of
history and literature, Elizabeth Eva Leach’s book provides an excellent synthesis of current scholarship and will
be an important reference point for readers in several disciplines.”—Ardis Butterfield, author of Poetry and
Music in Medieval France

Elizabeth Eva Leach is University Lecturer at the University of Oxford. She is the author of Sung Birds: Music,
Nature, and Poetry in the Later Middle Ages, also from Cornell.
