The Making of Romantic Love: Longing and Sexuality in Europe, South Asia, and Japan, 900-1200 CE - Chicago Studies in Practices of Meaning
William M. Reddy
In the twelfth century, the Catholic Church attempted a thoroughgoing reform of marriage and sexual behavior aimed at eradicating sexual desire from Christian lives. This book illuminates the birth of a cultural movement that managed to regulate selfish desire and render it innocent - or innocent enough.
