In Praise of Love : An Introduction to the Love-Poetry of the Renaissance by Maurice Valency
"Presents every important aspect of the poetic tradition of the Troubadors that culminated in Petrach and Dante. Starting with love among the Greeks and Romans, it ranges freely over such subjects as: the flourishing of medieval French and sunny Provence, the Knight, the Lade, True Love, the transfer of ideas to Italy by way of Siciliy, and finally, the development of the docle stil novo, and the New Live" - Mark Van Doren
