Synopsis

American and European scholars delve beneath the traditional view of courtly literature to emphasize the elements of transgression affecting love, friendship, and marriage. Courtly love, they find, was a linguistic and artistic construct that involved violence and playfulness, and provided the catalyst to transgress all norms of medieval society but also reconstituted that very society.
