He suggests that Andreas, using a rhetorical strategy that creates ambiguity, condemns courtly love because its claim that passion generates virtue is untenable and deceitful. Although Andreas grasped the core of the courtly love 'system,' namely, the relation between passion and ethics, he failed to consider the notion of mezura, that courtly virtue through which troubadours transformed nature into culture, and erotic passion into social discourse.Cherchi offers an innovative interpretation and a close reading of selected poems. He traces the history of Provençal lyric poetry, highlighting some of the significant personalities and movements. 410 0$aToronto Italian studies. 606 $aProvenc?al poetry$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc 606 $aCivilization, Medieval, in literature 606 $aCourtly love in literature 606 $aTroubadours 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aProvenc?al poetry$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc. 615 0$aCivilization, Medieval, in literature. 615 0$aCourtly love in literature. 615 0$aTroubadours. 676 $a849/.1209354 700 $aCherchi$b Paolo$0166386 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456176403321 996 $aAndreas and the ambiguity of courtly love$9567422 997 $aUNINA
