This volume explores the presence of song in French and Francophone narrative in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Within the broader sphere of musico-literary relations, song has a specific place at the intersection between words and music. Yet a focus on song within a narrative shifts the emphasis between poetry and prose, and necessitates a consideration of the formal disjuncture between both music and literature, on the one hand, and poetry and prose, on the other. This interdisciplinary volume brings together musicologists, translators, and literary scholars in a productive dialogue, centred on song(s), singers, and singing in the narrative form. Through a focus on song, authors engage afresh with key questions concerning gender, race, history, politics, and technology. It interrogates issues including the role of song in narrative, close readings of specific songs that are cited or referenced, questions of transmission and translation, and the representation, contribution, and narrative function of song.
