Book synopsis

The Cort d'Amor is a unique late twelfth-century allegorical romance in Occitan which predates the Roman de la Rose by some 50 years. A variety of lyric and narrative genres are fused together to create a gem of poetic brilliance and philosophical playfulness. In this long-overdue edition, Matthew Bardell highlights the work's intertextuality with Andreas Capellanus' De Amore to show how the Occitan work presents a dialogue between gendered approaches to love whilst parodying the exegetical tradition. It makes an important contribution to the study of medieval allegory and courtly love in general, as well as to the dissemination of Ovid in the Middle Ages and the narrative transformations of Old French and Occitan lyric. The text has a facing English translation.
