Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Courtly love was a medieval European idea of love dating back to the noble courts of the eleventh century. In essence, courtly love was a contradictory experience between erotic desire and spiritual attainment. Courtly Love is having a romantic affair without ever imagining it'll get consummated. The man in question will be in love with his lady, do almost anything for her and in her name. She may love the fella back, if he's fortunate—though that's not expected, and not really the point. The lady in question (and, indeed, the man in question) will almost certainly be married to somebody else: when Courtly Love happens, marriage isn't for love, but for more pragmatic reasons. In periods where Courtly Love is popular, it may be the only form of affair that doesn't get condemned as evil, simply because nothing more intimate than kisses, handkerchiefs, and sonnets get exchanged. In modern times it might happen just because the characters are too young like in a Childhood Friend Romance. |
