Troubadours and Modern Song

In this episode, Henry Carter takes us back to troubadours of the Middle Ages - people of song who bought about many of our modern ideas of love and desire. Henry takes us on a journey from traditions in Arabic to the influence of the troubadours on artists such as The Beatles, Bob Dylan, and Beyonce. This episode also features an original recording of a Geoffery Chaucer song by Henry.

Henry Carter is an MPhil student in English (Medieval) at St Hilda’s College, Oxford. You can find him on Twitter here: @swiftfootedhar
