Love, Marriage, and Relationships

In this issue: Runestone romance? A look at love in Old Norse Literature. Sex in the Middle Ages: who, where, and when was it appropriate? We get the medieval Jewish and Christian perspectives on sex. A look at sibling love, how two Jewish brothers maintained close family ties over many years through their letters. Marriage in medieval Italy with a focus on art, and lay vs church celebration. We’ve also got courtly love and music, and last but not least, read about gender swapping and same-sex marriage in the tale of Ydé et Olive.
