The Legacy of Courtly Literature Summary

The Legacy of Courtly Literature: From Medieval to Contemporary Culture by Deborah Nelson-Campbell

This fascinating volume examines the enduring influence of courtly tradition and courtly love, particularly in contemporary popular culture. The ten chapters explore topics including the impact of the medieval troubadour in modern love songs, the legacy of figures such as Tristan, Iseult, Lancelot, Guinevere, and Merlin in modern film and literature, and more generally, how courtly and chivalric conceptions of love have shaped the Western worlds conception of love, loyalty, honor, and adultery throughout history and to this day.

The Legacy of Courtly Literature Reviews

The book title is well chosen, with the subtitle underscoring even further the double perspective pursued here. The book contains eleven articles in which the world of the medieval courts and its impact on twentieth- and twenty-first-century literature, music, and film are discussed. The volume concludes with a welcome index. (Albrecht Classen, Mediaevistik, Vol. 31 (1), 2018)
