It is the first book to explore the multicultural origins of chivalry and courtly love in tandem, tracing their sources back to the ancient world, then follow their development―separately and together―through medieval life and literature. In addition to examining the history of chivalry and courtly love, this remarkable volume looks at their enduring legacy―not just in popular media but in molding our present-day concepts of human rights, professional ethics, military conduct, and gender relations.
