Stanford University Press 1996 0804725152 / 9780804725156 Hardcover Fine Fine Hardcover
New. Fine in publisher's cloth in like dust jacket. Available in our UK premises for prompt dispatch worldwide.By using feminist and cultural theories, this revisionist approach attempts to correct the previous studies that contend that Venus and Cupid ‘always and everywhere represent two loves (good and evil).' . . . This book is more accessible than one might suppose. . . . A readable book with helpful (as opposed to overwhelming) notes."-Choice"This handsome work provides impetus for further thought concerning these two deities as they appear throughout the Middle English canon and should become a major component of Medieval literary criticism."-South Atlantic Review The author analyzes the transformations of the love deities in later Middle English Chaucerian poetry, academic Latin discourses on classical myth, and French conventions that associate Venus and Cupid with Ovidian arts of love.
