The Middle Ages have influenced our modern society in many different ways but one of the most important influences has been the conception of love in literature. Love is a form of art expressed through song, writing, and paintings. In the Middle Ages “[c]ourtliness was expressed both in lyric poetry and in a wide range of vernacular narratives that we now loosely call ‘romances’…”(Baswell and Schotter
25). These vernacular narratives and lyric poetry have impacted our music in today’s world. Though the style of music is completely different nowadays compared to the Middle Ages, the message of love remains the same. Composers in our modern society continue to write about love similar to the songs and writings from the Middle Ages.
