Shakespeare and the rose of love: a study of the early plays in relation to the medieval philosophy of love
Offering an unusual and exceptionally clear insight into Shakespeare's philosophy and a viewpoint seldom considered, this book argues that his philosophy was consistent, consciously held, and profoundly Christian. Showing that Shakespeare appreciated the danger faced in writing at a time of major religious intolerance, it explains how the playwright used the medieval allegory of love to veil his ideas. Fresh and fascinating, this record also demonstrates that, even in his earliest work, Shakespeare was moving toward the universal ideas of love, forgiveness, and regeneration.Love's Labour Lost, Two Gentlemen of Verona,andRomeo and Julietare discussed at length.

Konfigurationen der Liebe
Liebe beschreibt ein Gefühl, eine Einstellung, einen Gedanken, eine Erfahrung, die Menschen zu dem Wichtigsten in ihrem Leben zählen. Die Liebe, zu anderen Menschen, zu Tieren, zu Gott, zu Göttern oder die von ihnen empfangene Liebe findet sich in höchst unterschiedlicher Gestalt und Bedeutung. Hat Liebe ihren wesentlichen Ausdruck in der Freundschaft, in der geschlechtlichen Vereinigung, in einem rituellen Vollzug oder in einem göttlichen Handeln? Der vorliegende Band besitzt seinen Schwerpunkt in der Frage, wie in den Religionen Liebe verstanden wird. Gerade im Christentum haben sich verschiedene Vorstellungen entwickelt, Gott, Mensch und Liebe miteinander zu denken. Doch auch philosophische und sich mit geistlicher und weltlicher Literatur beschäftigende Beiträge eröffnen entscheidende Perspektiven auf das unerschöpfliche Phänomen der Liebe.

Happily Ever After
\"Find your one true love and live happily ever after.\" The trials of love and desire provide perennial story material, from the BiblicalSong of Songsto Disney's princesses, but perhaps most provocatively in the romance novel, a genre known for tales of fantasy and desire, sex and pleasure. Hailed on the one hand for its women-centered stories that can be sexually liberating, and criticized on the other for its emphasis on male/female coupling and mythical happy endings, romance fiction is a multi-million dollar publishing phenomenon, creating national and international societies of enthusiasts, practitioners, and scholars. Catherine M. Roach, alongside her romance-writer alter-ego, Catherine LaRoche, guides the reader deep into Romancelandia where the smart and the witty combine with the sexy and seductive to explore why this genre has such a grip on readers and what we can learn from the romance novel about the nature of happiness, love, sex, and desire in American popular culture.
