Mediaeval Misogyny and the Invention of Western Romantic Love

Mediaeval Misogyny and the Invention of Western Romantic Love

by Bloch (Author)

Synopsis

Until now the advent of Western romantic love has been seen as a liberation from--or antidote to--ten centuries of misogyny. In this major contribution to gender studies, R. Howard Bloch demonstrates how similar the ubiquitous antifeminism of medieval times and the romantic idealization of woman actually are.
