Women and Men in Love

Meer over het boek

Challenging the Eurocentric view of courtly and romantic love, the book examines how Europeans historically monopolized this concept, intertwining it with their self-image and notions of marriage. It highlights the shift in perspective from the 1960s, recognizing romantic love as a universal sentiment present across cultures. By exploring the complex relationship between identity and emotions, the work invites readers to reconsider the historical narratives surrounding love and its cultural significance.
