Abstract
Love is possibly the most complex topic mankind has ever attempted to define. Though it is elusive, it possesses a seemingly supernatural ability to alter the human psyche. In attempting to unearth the origins of the modern concept of love, the researcher may look to a variety of sources. The nineteenth-century Romantic treatment of the theme often emphasized its altering effect on the feelings and, as a result, the movement portrayed the more sentimental side of love. However, in delving further into the past, indeed well into the late medieval period, the researcher will note that the French ideal of courtly love bears a strong resemblance to society’s present concept of love.
