The Vaux-de-Vire

The Vaux-de-Vire is a collection of bawdy songs and poems from 16th-century France. It was written by Olivier Basselin, a popular poet of the time, and later expanded by Jean Le Houx. This edition, translated by James Patrick Muirhead, provides a fascinating glimpse into the raucous and irreverent culture of renaissance France.
