The Prioress's Tale is a song about a song. That is, in the Prioress's own words, it is a song to the Virgin and it takes as its subject the arresting, obsessive, and ultimately lethal performance of another song to the Virgin, the Marian antiphon Alma redemptoris mater. Here, Albin explores how the Prioress's Tale stands significantly in relationship to sound, to voice, and to audition by asking what song is, how song works, and how song comes to make meanings inside the poem's narrative, and then turning the answers to these questions back onto the poem itself.
