Andrea Tarnowski, H-France Review ....the work's salient features and virtues....a mischievous humor that stays with him throughout...he holds himself accountable in his analyses, his intellectual honesty benefitting his audience

Catherine Leglu, French Studies ...A well-balanced, focused and challenging book that should prove an accessible source of close textual readings for medievalists, and of thought-provoking interpretations of 'courtly love' literature to a broad spectrum of readers.

Medium Aevum, Volume LXXVI This book is a triumph... Gaunt raises some crucial questions about the representation of love in western culture, and provides an array of scintillating answers...an exhilarating read

French Review Gaunt's bold approach to provide fresh readings of canonical texts continues apace with this volume devoted to an arresting preoccupation, the medieval motif of love as a fatal affliction.

Kathy M. Krause, MLR, 103.1 ...the argument itself is masterfully deployed...Gaunt explicates a complicated concept with remarkable clarity and insight.

Notes and Queries impeccably scholarly... it is well worth reading
