Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of four essays written in 1606 by renowned playwright John Ford. The essays take the form of orations in support of four chivalric positions: 1. Knights in ladies' service have no free will. 2. Beauty is the maintainer of valour. 3. Faire ladie was never false. 4. Perfect lovers are onely wise. The author's eloquent prose is interspersed with poetry, and the essays are notable for their exploration of the complex relationship between men and women in the context of courtly love. Ford's insights on the nature of love, beauty, and loyalty are as relevant today as they were in his own time, and this book continues to be a valuable resource for scholars and general readers interested in the history of chivalry and courtly love.
