Lovers were rejected, mistrust ruled, rape was a rampant problem, and marriage was often characterized by brutality. Albrecht Classen brings together an outstanding group of historical, cultural, and literary scholars in this volume to investigate the complicated, nuanced, and often surprising unions of love and violence in courtly medieval literature.Medieval casebooks.Literature, MedievalHistory and criticismViolence in literatureLiterature, MedievalHistory and criticism.Violence in literature.809/.933552Classen Albrecht16691MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784435503321Violence in medieval courtly literature3763309UNINA
