Allegory of love

This book i'm not going to say much about, as I believe it's a book that everyone really has to experience on their own. I think it's been one of the more difficult books that I've read lately, simply because there are so many different references to books and literature of the middle ages. This book gave C.S. Lewis his reputation for being a critic of literature from that period. He talks quite a bit about courtly love, and how it is so very full of allegories. He goes over many of those said allegories in famous works of literature, such as Chaucer. If you are at all interested in studying about the roots of love in classic literature, or if you just want to learn more about the middle ages, this is definitely a book to read.

The next set of reviews is on a series of books, so it will be published on Tuesday.
