About this product
Product Information
In this volume, Georges Duby addresses the theme of love and marriage in the Middle Ages. By examining the poetry and practice of courtly love and the mores of aristocratic marriages, Duby shows the Middle Ages to be male-dominated. Women were regarded as symbols, as figures of temptation who paradoxically had no desires of their own. Duby argues that the structure of sexual relationships took its cue from the family and from feudalism - both bastions of masculinity. In the second part of the book, Duby reflects on general issues in the writing of cultural history, on the history of pain and heresy, and gives a personal view of the state of historical research in France over recent generations.

Reviews
'Georges Duby is one of the brightest stars in that sparkling galaxy of French historians which has lit up the historical writing of the later 20th century ... the book contains short expositions of many of his most brilliant insights.' The Guardian 'there is little doubt that Duby is one of the most interesting and original historians at work in Europe today. This book is up to his usual high standards of scholarship, penetration and readability.' Peter Burke, University of Cambridge 'duby's vision is fascinating [and] compelling.' Emma Hawkes, University of Western Australia 'It is difficult to think of any other historian who has been surrounded by so much respect and esteem.'
