The book looks at the affect that tradition and convention had on the religious poetry of the medieval period. It examines the background of the lyrics, including the Latin tradition which was inherited by medieval vernacular and shows how religious lyric poetry presents, through a rich variety of images, the significant incidents in the scheme of Christ’s redemption, such as the Annunciation, the Nativity, the Passion and the Resurrection. It also considers the lyrics which were designed to assist humanity in the task of living in a Christian life, as well as those which prepared them for death.

For this paper the general meaning, of a short poem expressing subjective, Personal feelings either set to music or musical in form, will be sufficient. The songs of these centuries, as more of other'periods, reflect the thoughts, interests and occupations of the peo ple. The church, the state, chivalry, social life, are all to be seen mir rored in these collections of lyric poetry. The following short out na y serve as a framework upon which to base a general classification of these poems as to content.
