This panel wishes to reassess, and bring to the fore, the important role of the love treatise in Renaissance literature. In fact, recent new studies show that the genre of the love treatise, situated within its historical moment and cultural context, functioned as a unique hybrid text in which different traditions - literary, philosophical and medical - were elaborately intertwined in order to explain the genesis and the anatomy of love. By undertaking a comparative studey of the love treatise, this panel will explore the varying discourses that once informed this popular genre. The topics of the panel include, but are not limited to: Italian literature; Early Modern European discourses on love; intersection medicine and philosophy; courtly love tradition. Please send your 300-450 words abstract to Cecilia Maier-Kapoor at cmaierkapoor@pace.edu.
