Description
Fin'amor: The Myth of Courtly Love
In the Middle Ages, Courtly Love was many things; a poetic ideal, a civilizing influence, a spiritual discipline; a wealth of lyrics and romances produced and read by men and women sharing an elaborate feudal ritual. But how did it manifest in daily life, where love and marriage seldom converged? HESPERUS explores the many aspects of Fin’amor.
