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 developmentùseparately and togetherùthrough
medieval life and literature ; In addition to examining the history of chivalry and
courtly love, this remarkable volume looks at their enduring legacyùnot 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. --Book Jacket
