Summary: | Examining the representation of love in conduct books, philosophical treatises, letter-writing manuals, and medical texts, Love in Print in the Sixteenth Century explores the impact of printing on conflicting cultural notions about romantic love in the sixteenth century. This popularization of romantic love through the book market led to profound transformations in the rhetoric, ideology, and social function of love - transformations that continue to shape cultural notions about love today. Introduction: love, the book market, and the popularization of romance -- Baldassare Castiglione's Book of the courtier: love and ideal conduct -- Mario Equicola's De natura d'amore: love and knowledge -- Antonio Tagliente's Opera amorosa: love and letterwriting -- Jacques Ferrand's On lovesickness: love and medicine -- Conclusion: Romeo + Juliet |
