Love Locked Out: An examination of the irre… por James Cleugh
The book is a survey of love, licentiousness, and love's restrictions in the Middle Ages fueled by repressive Church dogma, superstition and senseless violence. It makes no claims to be a definitive work, or a scholarly study. It succeeds, however, in showing how institutional fear can translate into extreme sexual perversion when physical love is locked out.
A nice read, but with certain inaccuracies in detail (i.e. Henri II was killed by a jousting shard in the eye and not the temple), but the book should not be scorned because it does not conform to our age's new historicism.
