oa The Chronology of the Central Chansonniers

This article presents a survey of the main ways our view of the central chansonniers has changed over the last twenty-five years, with a particular focus on the date of the chansonnier Nivelle de la Chaussée in relation to the others. My tentative conclusion is that the situation remains as it was before, namely that Nivelle is the earliest of the central chansonniers.
