Book excerpt: In this volume a variety of perspectives reevaluate the nature of friendship, desire, and the olde daunce of love in the Middle Ages. Challenging earlier scholarly notions about medieval marriage, this book suggests and explores the legitimacy of marital friendship, affection, and mutuality. The authors explore the relationship of medieval love to companionship, equality, and power, and relate medieval expressions of love to a number of issues including creativity, reading and writing, voyeurism, chastity, violence, and even hate. The book reconsiders the theological, philosophical, and legal background of medieval attitudes toward marriage, analyzes expressions of love and desire in European vernacular literature, and considers several implications of Chaucer's treatment of love, marriage, and sexuality.

Book excerpt: An account of Dickens' novel in its manuscript, proof and printed versions; a survey of editions, adaptations, and responses to the novel from 1840 until 1985. Limited to material published in English. Revised from papers presented at a conference in April 1986, 13 essays re-evaluate the nature of intimate relations in the middle ages. They explore the relations between love and companionship, equality, and power; and between expressions of love and creativity, literacy, voyeurism, chastity, hate and other issues. The overall impression is that people used to do it in a very scholarly manner. A paper edition is available (0440-4, $17.95). Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
