- Description
- Discusses the theme of distorted love in HF, where "love of self" is depicted as replacing the ideal of "'commune profit,' that is love for others and for the larger order of the universe" held together by the "great chain." Argues that courtly love must be "reinstated as a way of getting back to the holier kind of love" that is spiritual.
