The Allegory of Love: A Study in Medieval Tradition
C. S. Lewis
The Allegory of Love is a landmark study of a powerful and influential medieval conception of love and its expression in literature. C. S. Lewis explores the sentiment called 'courtly love' and the allegorical method within which it developed in literature and thought, from its first flowering in eleventh-century Languedoc through to its transformation and gradual demise at the end of the sixteenth century. Lewis devotes particular attention to major allegorical poems, including *The Romance of the Rose* and *The Faerie Queene*, and to poets such as Chaucer, Gower, and Thomas Usk.
