Love in the Middle Ages was both a private experience and a public contest whose players were Social Status, Religious Obligation and Sexual Desire. We investigate the development of this contest in its classical period by concentrating primarily, but not exclusively, on the literature of French-speaking countries in the 12th and 13th centuries. In addition to primary-source readings (in translation), we consider the perspectives of cultural and literary historians such as Marc Bloch, Georges Duby, and Joan Ferrante, and of critical theorists such as Jacques Lacan and Julia Kristeva.
