ABSTRACT

At the beginning of the 12th century a Provencal poetry emerges in the South of France that displaces Latin to compose in its native language, Occitan. The influence of this poetry was relevant both literary and linguistically. Anonymity and oral transmission are the points that female artistic production has in common in the Romance language prior to the fifteenth century. This anonymous poetry belonged to the traditional lyric genre and has always been present in European societies. Throughout the Middle Ages, culture was mostly within the reach of the noble woman, the nun and the wives and daughters of wealthy merchants. Florencia Pinar's work has been quite analyzed by literary criticism and, although these studies have taken into account the poetic canon of the time in the analysis of his poems, part of literary criticism has tried to interpret his poetic self in agreement to the thought of modern culture of the twentieth century.
