La fleur inverse, la flors enversa, la fleur en vers

Abstract

The article is a reading/interpretation of Raimbaut d’Aurenga’s La flors enversa. The co-presence of winter and spring in the canso’s coblas is the point of departure of an investigation of the meaning of the adjective enversa. It is also an analysis of the devices by which the troubadour links the distance between winter and poetry, and the one between the trobar and its inverse.
