Epton, Nina. Love and the French. Second Edition. 1959. Book and dust jacket are both in very good minus condition—covers show fading, and jacket shows a chip to the upper spine and mild discoloration.
No nationality is more associated with the art of romance than the French. Consequently, it is no surprise that this study of love in France from the Middle Ages to the 20th Century is truly a history of France itself. The book begins in the in feudal times when troubadours first borrowed the concept of romantic love from the Moors. It then traces its ebb and flow, from the decadence of the Ancien Régime to the grand coquettes of the 19th Century.
