reviewed Ennobling Love: In Search of a Lost Sensibility on March 02, 2014 Ennobling Love: In Search of a Lost Sensibility
Bryn Hammond says it all far better than I could... This is a terrific (and I feel successful) attempt to recover thoughts and views very different from our own. If nothing else, it made me think a great deal about love of all kinds and in all eras, and I am still pondering... No bad thing for a romance writer! Despite being a writer of gay romance, I was intrigued by Jaeger claiming (or reclaiming?) the passionate friendships between men from ancient through to medieval times, and also by how he followed this line through into the courtly love of the Arthurian romances. Things changed and evolved, and one gets the unfortunate sense of it all going downhill from there...
Beyond the medieval era itself, I was particularly interested in the juxtaposition of Elizabeth I still running her court in the old paradigm, while Shakespeare was writing about the new. Much of the contemporary criticism and ridicule of her can be explained in this light. Meanwhile, I am left to ponder the differences between what might have really happened between the historic Edward II and his favourite Gaveston, what Marlowe might have really meant in his play, and how we interpret it all today...
Much food for thought indeed!
