For 11c - 13c Provence research an execellent place to start is a
book called
Pilgrims, Heretics, and Lovers by Claude Marks. Macmillan Publishing
CO., Inc. New York. ISBN
0-02-579770-0
The book is an introduction to the Troubadours disguised as a
history book. It's very readable and makes an execellent introduction to
Provencal culture.
This book is prouably out of print so you will need to use Inter-Library
Loan if your library doesn't have a copy. In fact if you want to do much
study on Provence you will prouably get to know your ILL librarian pretty
well.
Another good book is
The World of the Troubadurs: Medieval Occitan Society, c. 1100-c. 1300
Linda M. Paterson. Cambridge University Press 1993. ISBN 0-521-35240-1
I belive that this book is still in print.
I hope this helps. If anyone is interested in research on the
Troubadours, I've tracked down some pretty good sources, and would be
glad to help.
