Title: Rhyme in Gace Brulé's lyric
First published: 1998
Description: Becam's study of rhyme repetition corroborates evidence that courtly love songs share common features, but also demonstrates that Gace Brule re-creates and thus redefines these features throughout his corpus. This role of rhyme in Gace Brule's lyrics establishes the far-reaching significance of a poetic device designed to shape the sound and meaning of verse. This study offers a fresh look at the lyrics of the renowned twelfth-century trouvere poet.

Thanks to this book's constant interaction of statistical evidence with rhetorical analysis, new dimensions are added to the dialogue.
