It also includes anti-courtly satire, which applies to courtly idealism an innate human propensity for detecting cheating"--Provided by publisher.Faux Titre ;455.Literature and Cultural Studies E-Books Online, Collection 2022.A cognitive approach to the courtly love literature of medieval FranceCognition in literatureCourtly love in literatureFrench literatureTo 1500History and criticismLatin literature, Medieval and modernFranceHistory and criticismLiterary formLiterature, MedievalHistory and criticismOccitan literatureHistory and criticismLiterary criticism.lcgftCognition in literature.Courtly love in literature.French literatureHistory and criticism.Latin literature, Medieval and modernHistory and criticism.Literary form.Literature, MedievalHistory and criticism.Occitan literatureHistory and criticism.940.1Monson Don A.1740747NL-LeKBNL-LeKB9910862099003321Eros and Noesis4166555UNINA
