This new edition of the Middle English Castle of Love includes a French text of Le chasteau d'amour, Robert Grosseteste's Anglo-Norman poem that forms the basis of the medieval English translation. Rich biblical allusions and architectural imagery showcase the popular allegory of the Virgin Mary as a castle of love, set within Grosseteste's influential interpretation of the allegory of the four daughters of God, where medieval romance motifs, feudal structures and legal principles illuminate the central theme of salvation history.
Dana M. Symons is an independent scholar who has published on medieval romance, Robin Hood, and Alain Chartier. She also edited Chaucerian Dream Visions and Complaints for the TEAMS METS series.
