Summary
The problematic notion ‘courtly love’ and its medieval counterparts like fin'amour remain a controversial and much discussed feature of Chrétien scholarship. Recent developments include focus on women, misogyny, and social hierarchies (reflected in Q and Ud), as well as debate regarding perceived moral, social, satirical, or farcical features of love in his romances. The significance of the love of Tristan and Iseut for Chrétien still attracts attention, although the problematic character of that love in medieval Tristan romances in recent scholarship has complicated the reading of Chrétien's responses to it, as well as that of the characters in his romances.
