Page 1 Introduction Robert R.Edwards Stephen Spector This collection of essays grew out of a conference on "Love, Marriage, Friendship and Sexuality in the Middle Ages," held at the National Humanities Center in April 1986. The impetus for the conference came from Jean Hagstrum, Professor Emeritus at Northwestern University and Senior Fellow at the Center. Professor Hagstrum proposed a series of conferences on the theme of love, beginning with love in the ancient world and moving forward toward the modern period. These conferences would test in the domains of history and literature whether companionate and reciprocal love, love as requisite to marriage, emerged in any significant way before the later seventeenth century. Hagstrum proposed that sanctioned erotic attachments not only preceded any modern ideal of marriage but also made it historically intelligible.1 The motto he invoked to describe the nature of these attachments was borrowed from the eighteenth-century English poet James Thomson"enlivened by desire."2
