This book offers an overview of the origins, growth, and influence
of chivalry and courtly love, casting new light on the importance
of these medieval ideals for understanding world history and
culture to the present day. Rethinking Chivalry and Courtly Love
shows that these two interlinked medieval era concepts are best
understood in light of each other. 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. Readers will see how understanding the tenets
of the chivalrous life helps us understand our own world today. A
rich bibliography of key works, in print and online, on the history
of chivalry and courtly love and their interpretation
