Andreas Capellanus on Love?: Desire, Seduction, and Subversion in a Twelfth-Century Latin Text

by Kathleen Andersen-Wyman

Book Overview

Andersen-Wyman's book undoes most scholarly uses and understandings of De amore by Andreas Capellanus. By offering a reading promoted by the text itself, Andersen-Wyman shows how Andreas undermines the narrative foundations of sacred and secular institutions and renders their power absurd.
