Abstract

An examination of visual encounters in medieval lyrics, this study explores the ways in which poets employed contemporary optical theory both to revitalize classical 'topoi' such as Cupid's arrow, and to address issues of subjectivity and gender. Poets considered include Chretien de Troyes, Giacomo da Lentini, Guido Cavalcanti, and Dante.
