Love in the Western World
This course studies the medieval literary origins of modern conceptions of romantic love. Over the course of the last two-and-a-half millennia there have developed multiple traditions of romantic love in Western Asia and Europe. This course will investigate those traditions by means of a survey of both theoretical writings concerning love and literary works that themselves represent romantic love.
