University of Chicago Press, 08, 242 Seiten hardcover w/dj Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). Very good, clean copy. One of the great achievements of the Middle Ages, Europe?s courtly culture gave the world the tournament, the festival, the knighting ceremony, and also courtly love. But courtly love has strangely been ignored by historians of sexuality. With Courtly Love, the Love of Courtliness, and the History of Sexuality, James Schultz corrects this oversight with careful analysis of key courtly texts of the medieval German literary tradition. contents: Introduction: Courtly Sexuality and the History of Love XV Causa materialis: What Sort of Bodies Are Involved? 1 Parzival's Penis: A Brief History 3 2 The Sexual Identity of Courtly Lovers 17 3 The Aphrodisiac Body on Display 29 Causa efficiens: What Gets Them Going? 4 The Danger of Heterosexuality Si § Love without Desire 63 6 Aristophilia 79 Causa formalis: How Do They Manage It? 7 Single Singers: Suffering Alone in Public 101 8 Chivalric Couples: Knights, Ladies, and Marriage 119 9 Secret Lovers: Tristan, Isold, and the Watchman at Dawn 13 Causa finalis: What Do They Get Out of It?
