«Medieval Love Poetry» is the anthology of medieval poetry edited by John Cherry, published by British Museum Press in hardback (96 pages, in English).
The volume brings together poems and troubadour chansons in translated versions and relates them to images from medieval romances such as Tristan and Isolde, Lancelot and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Love appears as an ideal quest or obstacle in the courtly adventure, and the verses are combined with jewels and objects from the British Museum.
Published in 2005, it belongs to the «Gift Books» series and includes 45 colour illustrations, summaries of the main romances and bibliographic references.
Intended as a gift for readers interested in medieval poetry, courtly love and the British Museum collections.
