- Description
- Explores why C. S. Lewis chose not to discuss FranT in his "Allegory of Love," arguing that Lewis made the decision because he wanted to attribute the "final defeat of courtly love by the romantic conception of marriage" to Edmund Spenser in his "Faerie Queene." However, FranT was a "transmutation" of courtly love into marriage 200 years before Spenser wrote.
