Les « galants troubadours » Usages des troubadours à l’âge classique

This paper studies how texts written in the second half of the 17th century and beginning of the 18th imagine the figure of the troubadour. It is progressively imbued with national, modern and gallant values. This figure of the “gallant troubadour” will be called upon in new debates thus modifying its image.
