In redefining courtly love and applying tests of chivalry to both sexes, Austen showed advanced thinking as well as deep continuity with her often-ignored predecessors. Tiffany Schubert's study integrates an understanding of medieval romance literature and philosophy with a sympathetic and illuminating reading of Austen's novels and letters. It takes us outside the box of most Austen criticism. --Eric Nye, Emeritus Professor, University of Wyoming Schubert's study explores the complex relationship of Austen's world to the medieval courtly love tradition through a broad and deep explication of both Austen's ironic use of the tradition as well as the alignment of her novels with the deep structures and values of Christian romance. This exceptionally well-informed and moving study allows the reader to delve among the golden roots of Austen's imaginative world, following Schubert's sure guidance and erudition. --Laura White, professor of English, University of Nebraska-Lincoln
