The historical personages include Eleanor of Aquitaine, whose several marriages brought her wealth and autonomy; the virtuous Heloise; and the visionary recluse Juette. Duby also studies the literary figures of St. Marie-Madeleine, a composite figure who personified the essential female traits of frailty, ardent love, and evangelicalism; Iseult, literary beloved of Tristan; and two other emblematic figures, Doree d'Amour and Phenix -- women who became ladies through chivalrous love.
Informative and entertaining, this book offers new insight on courtly love and the representations of women under medieval patriarchy.
