`What is marriage and what sets it apart from other human
relationships'? These are the key questions which Professor Brooke
addresses in this important study of marriage in the medieval
world. He draws on many disciplines - history, art, theology, and
literature - in order to penetrate the special character of
marriage. He covers the entire period from 1000 to 15000, with
special emphasis on the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Among the
themes treated in this wide-ranging study are the cult of celibacy
and the relationship between marriage and architecture. Professor
Brooke draws on a remarkable group of case-studies and sources,
including the letters of Heloise and Abelard, the epics of Wolfram
von Eschenbach, and the poetry of Chaucer. He concludes with a
chapter on the theology of marraige, and a penetrating look at The
Arnolfini Marriage by Jan van Eyck.
