- Oktatás célja
- The course is designed to introduce students to samples of love poetry from the middle ages to our times. By reading, analyzing, and discussing lyrical and narrative poems, students can explore the different types of love (and, by implication, mentality) represented in these texts (romantic, sacred, profane, satyrical, or even pathological).
