Romance of the Rose John de Meun and Guillaume de Lorris

Courtly Love Courtly love – Not “Courtney Love” – Remarkable literary innovation: lots of poetry, romances, written in the vernacular tongues of Europe – Poets called “troubadours” – Poems meant to be sung to music – Focus on the relationship of men and women, a new sensibility: chivalry

Courtly Love Courtly love – Influences from Arabic love poetry and Muslim mystical literature – Soul=feminine / God/lover=masculine – Troubadours secularize this mystical tradition and love becomes something honorable and dignified – Popularizes romantic love  THIS is the innovation, a notion in the West that we take for granted!

Courtly Love Courtly love – Ideal male: knight-errant, warrior searching for adventure – Free but virtuous – Virtue leads him to take a vow in his lady’s name – Chivalric virtue: self-denial, self-sacrifice (damsel in distress, slay the dragon and save the lady or the village) – Chrétien de Troyes (Arthur romances): women are elevated; men are the “love-vassals” of the women – Spreads from southern France (Provençal) to Germany and throughout Europe
