Il 'plazer' nella poesia occitana e italiana

Abstract

Few studies have been devoted to the classification and analysis of the plazer in Provençal and Italian lyric poetry between the XII and XIV centuries. This article aims to examine some of the results obtained from Otto Gsell's somewhat dated research, suggesting the possibility of adding some little known and titles, that have received even less attention, as well as attempting a synthesis of the structure of this poetic genre (introductory formulae, objects or feelings of ‘pleasure / joy’, comparisons about love).
