Love is constantly thematized in medieval and Renaissance literature. Authors try to account for what love is, what its effects are on the body and the soul, how one is supposed to obtain it and keep it, but also how and why it should be avoided. Writing about love is also questioning what is considered essentially good or bad for oneself and the community. In this course, students will explore medieval and early modern love theories and practices in a selection of Iberian texts, as they reflect on literature as a means for ethical interrogation. Taught in Spanish.
