The Art of Courtly Love
by Andreas Capellanus
Hard to rate this book in normal terms. Certainly an influential work that documents an important concept in Western though, that of Love. But also highly, highly problematic. The text is extremely misogynistic and ableist, and should really be read as a historical document rather than a doctrine by which to live your life.
Read in conjunction with a Medieval Lit class on Courtly Love. Proves extremely useful for that context. Would recommend for anyone interested in the historical evolution of Love as a concept, as well as anyone interested in medieval literature more generally.
