Synopsis
Leading authority on the Middle Ages, Professor Robert Bartlett presents a series which examines the way we thought during Medieval times. He unearths remarkable evidence of the complex passions of Medieval men and women. The Church preached hatred of the flesh, promoted the cult of virginity and condemned woman as the sinful heir to Eve. Yet this was the era that gave birth to the idea of romantic love.
