Resumen
The poetry of medieval Valencian author Ausiàs March (1400–59) has been thoroughly examined in recent years with attention to its material transmission. Emphasis on the relationship between both manuscript and print culture and the interpretation of March’s verses, however, has tended to sidestep their original conditions of production and reception. In the present essay, I argue first for the need to think of March’s work in terms of oral dissemination. Next, I theorize the kind of space constructed for, and arising from, late medieval lyric poems conceived for oral performance. Finally, to illustrate the kind of hermeneutics required by these material conditions of existence, I examine the notion of closeness as a framework for understanding selected passages of March’s poetry, with a focus on the Llir entre cards cycle.
