English literature
The chivalric romance of lobe is influenced by works of Ovid, the favourite Latin poet in
the MA. The philosophy of Courtly Love perceives sexual love as ennobling, owes its idealism to Plato
and his Neo-Platonist followers. 2 worlds 1) eternal, `ideas'. 2)sense- world of time and change. Soul
cosmic and human, is an intermediary between them. The soul is constantly struggling while the
intellect is changeless and eternal. C.L as a set of ideas appears in the songs of the troubadours in
Provence. C.L is the privilege of the knightly class. The relationship between the lover and his lady is
similar to feudal service, he seeks her love not for personal enrichment or dynastic considerations, but
because he desires her as a person and hopes to be judged by his achievements. It can never lead to
marriage, because either they are married, or socially don't suit, the secrecy is vital. But the lover should
love only one lady.
