The Allegory of Love

The Allegory of Love is a groundbreaking examination of a powerful and important mediaeval understanding of love. From its first flowering in eleventh-century Languedoc to its metamorphosis and slow extinction at the end of the sixteenth century, C. S. Lewis investigates the sentiment known as "courtly love" and the allegorical technique within which it developed in literature and thinking. Lewis focuses on famous poems such as The Romance of the Rose and The Faerie Queene, as well as poets such as Chaucer, Gower, and Thomas Usk.
