| Abstract | This CD-ROM application provides teachers with materials for approaching the medieval lyric in various ways and from different disciplinary perspectives. The goal of the project has been to explore how modern technology can provide innovative ways of bringing the medieval experience into the classroom and can place at the disposition of teachers and students a variety of medieval source materials not readily available in the United States, together with explanatory material that makes the source materials accessible. This project incorporates audio and text materials (troubadours, trouveres, and Guillaume de Machaut) from The Medieval Lyric, a previous undertaking supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities. It adds to these an entirely new collection of manuscript images and a section of the Cantigas de Santa Maria compiled at the court of Alfonso X, the Learned, in the late 13th century. The time-span covered by the CD-ROM stretches from the late 11th to the 14th centuries. |
