O alvorecer na literatura medieval: um estudo sobre as canções de 'alba' românicas

Abstract

This research deals with the theme of the dawn in the poetry in Romance language entitled Songs of Alba, from the medieval period. The work aimed to analyze the intertextual aspects of this poetry, highlighting the male and female figures present in Albas, as well as the elements that conceptualize the genre: adultery, the meeting of lovers at dawn, the watchman and the birds that warn about the end of the night. Contextualizing the medieval period, the dissonances regarding both 'cantigas de amigo' and 'cantigas de amor' were analyzed.
