Challenging the Eurocentric view of courtly and romantic love, the book examines how Europeans historically monopolized this concept, intertwining it with their self-image and notions of marriage. It highlights the shift in perspective from the 1960s, recognizing romantic love as a universal sentiment present across cultures. By exploring the complex relationship between identity and emotions, the work invites readers to reconsider the historical narratives surrounding love and its cultural significance.
