The book provides the first comprehensive study of love and ethics
in Middle English and Middle Scots poems written at the close of
the Middle Ages by Geoffrey Chaucer, James I, Robert Henryson,
William Dunbar, and Gavin Douglas. It shows that medieval poems
often reveal a pattern in which an individual moves from selfish to
selfless concerns, and how this movement is incited by love, while
fulfilled through virtue. By taking into account the English and
Scottish cultural contexts, as well as other traditions of writing,
the book shows how the ideas on human well-being were disseminated
and adjusted to meet cultural changes. In this, the book
contributes to a discussion on what constitutes "mindful" or
"virtuous" living, a discussion that is as relevant today as it was
in the Middle Ages.
