Gone are the days, when poetry was used as a mere tool for memory training, through the mechanical repeti-tion of hundreds of lines. The sole purpose of learning poetry today in the elementary classes is to enjoy it. The music of words, the thrill of the galloping rhymes and the smooth rhythm should create an atmosphere which the child loves, providing him with an exhilarating sense of aesthetic pleasure. From such a level, it is possible to lead the child to the realms of creative aspiration in thought and word.

This collection focuses on a woman's point of view in love poetry, and juxtaposes poems by women and poems about women to raise questions about how femininity is constructed. Although most medieval "woman's songs" are either anonymous or male-authored lyrics in a popular style, the term can usefully be expanded to cover poetry composed by women, and poetry that is aristocratic or learned rather than popular. Poetry from ancient Greece and Rome that resonates with the medieval poems is also included here.
