The Arrow of Love

Optics, Gender, and Subjectivity in Medieval Love Poetry

Beschreibung

The Arrow of Love examines visual encounters in medieval lyrics, exploring the ways in which poets employed contemporary optical theory both to revitalize classic topoi, such as Cupid's arrow, and to construct and develop subjectivities and gender roles.
