English The Book of the Duke of True Lovers Produced by Katherine Ward, Bryan Ness, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Book of the Duke of True Lovers" by Christine de Pisan is a medieval romantic narrative written in the early 15th century. This tale is likely a romanticized account of a love story involving nobility, potentially based on true events from the author's time. The story revolves around an unnamed prince, referred to as the Duke of True Lovers, who confides his emotional struggles with love to the author, seeking her help to convey his experiences and feelings. The opening of the book introduces the Duke and his profound longing for a lady whom he has encountered during his youthful explorations. As he navigates his feelings of admiration, vulnerability, and ultimately desire, he recounts a series of events that lead to his fall into love. The Duke candidly expresses the delight and tumult that love brings to his life, including the various encounters with his beloved and the deep emotional pain stemming from unreciprocated feelings. This intricate and heartfelt narrative sets the stage for a medieval exploration of love’s trials, emotions, and the societal challenges faced by lovers in that period.
