Review title: Don't get it for the poetry, or for the history
Product review: It's hard to believe this book is still in print. The history was already outdated when the book was first published, and the translations are sometimes wildly inaccurate.Bogin's book has been superseded by "Songs of the Women Troubadours," by Matilda Bruckner, Laurie Shepard, and Sarah White (NY: Garland, 2000), which has an excellent introduction and translations that are both accurate and readable.
