Love in the Western World by Denis De Rougemont
Explores the psychology of love from the legend of Tristan and Isolde to Hollywood. Bringing together historical, religious, philosophical, and cultural dimensions, the author traces the evolution of Western romantic love from its literary beginnings as an awe-inspiring secret to its commercialization in the cinema.
"De Rougemont's reasoning is often ingenious, always arresting, fascinating in detail"--Time (Magazine)
The Swiss philosopher Denis de Rougemont was the author of many widely translated works, including The Devil's Share (Princeton/Bollingen) and Love Declared.
