Before Malory: Reading Arthur in Later Medieval England
Love, per Andreas Capellanus in the 13th Century, is defined as "a certain inborn suffering derived from the sight of and excessive meditation upon the beauty of the opposite sex..."
This book is comprised of instructions on "how love may be acquired, retained, increased, decreased, and ended." As it was written in the 1200's (by a chaplain!) the book now comes across as dated, sexist, amusing, and guaranteed to raise an eyebrow. I thoroughly enjoyed it, as it puts a whole new spin on the modern idea of "courtly love."
