La Alegoría Del Amor by C.S. Lewis

A Study in Medieval Tradition

A concise scholarly study of the medieval tradition of courtly love and its evolution into a rich system of literary allegory, tracing influences from classical sources and troubadour lyric through major medieval writers and texts; it examines how personified figures, symbolic conventions, and narrative forms articulated tensions between desire, morality, and social codes, and shows how those allegorical techniques shaped both medieval culture and later literary traditions.
