Medieval History
Love in Medieval Western Literature
Love in Medieval Western Literature
Designed at taught by Sergi Sancho Fibla
Denis de Rougemont once said it, and George Duby repeated it: ?Europe discovered Love in the 13th century?. Such a statement might be daring to anyone not familiar with medieval literature, but here you will be able to check that it isn?t completely false. But what about Catullus or Ovid? What about Platon and Sappho? And besides, do you believe, like Rougemont, that ?happy love has no history in Western Literature?? Do you think that the myth of Love in Europe is that of an unfulfilled and adulterous Passion? Do we only have stories of fatal Love? Can we find the seed of the current love stories in the so-called ?birth of Love? of the 11th century?
In our course we will not only study medieval texts in historical and philosophical context, but also compare them to other works of literature, cinema, essays, music, etc.
