Hueffer’s The Troubadours:
A History of Provençal Life and Literature in the Middle Ages. By Francis Hueffer.
“This attractive volume deals in a very fresh and exact way with a most interesting phase of culture and letters.... Mr. Hueffer claims for his volume the praise of being the first adequate study on so famous a subject as the Troubadours which has appeared in the English language; and we believe that we must allow that he is right. His book will be found exceedingly interesting and valuable.... It is a grateful task to review a volume where so firm aground of scholarship is under our feet, and where there is so little need to be on the watch for instances of inaccuracy or want of knowledge.... Mr. Hueffer is to be congratulated on a very important contribution to literature.”—Examiner.
