- Description
- An anthology of essays by various authors on aspects of medieval love literature. The introduction, by Paxson, discusses literary depictions of love in light of postmodern theories of the "psychological, phenomenological, and gendered bases" of desire. The twelve essays address aspects of love and desire in works such as Roman d'Eneas, Pamphilus, commentaries on Ovid, troubadour lyrics, and the Lais of Marie de France. For five essays that pertain to Chaucer, search for Desiring Discourse under Alternative Title.
