Poetry Hour Subject Is Middle Ages Work
Wine, women and nature were the subjects poets turned to during the Middle Ages, Vaclav Mudrock, associate professor of history said yesterday at the Poetry Hour.
Prof. Mudrock said he enjoyed the people of the Medieval Ages because they were both joyful and sorrowful, yet did not attempt to analyze themselves.
Prof. Mudrock illustrated the nature theme of Medieval poetry with two anonymous 10th century poems, "Scholar of Malesbury," which told of the rain, stars, winds, clouds, mountains and oceans, and "The Wanderer" who looked for happiness and became concerned when he realized that the earth's foundations would eventually pass away.
Prof. Mudrock dwelt a short time on the women theme with several 10th century poems from the Cambridge Manuscript. Other "love and women" selections were from golardic poetry. (The goliards of the 12th and 13th centuries were a group of wandering students who composed satirical Latin verse.) Segments of golard poetry urged students to throw their books away

"It is my opinion that poetry reflects the avocations of society." Prof. Mudrock said. "Poetry had to change as the Medieval world began to change."
Prof. Mudrock illustrated this change in Medieval mood with Francois Villon's "Ballad of Small Talk."
