description: Written in 1405, this charming tale of courtly romance follows the progress of a clandestine love affair between a young knight, the Duke, and a married noblewoman. The Book of the Duke of True Lovers is as readable and entertaining today as it was when it was written. At the same time it provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of late medieval France, its society, fashion, and customs.
