The Laws of Love: A Brief Historical and Practical Manual (Language, Discourse, Society)

By Peter Goodrich

Book Overview

Your guest at dinner kisses you. What does it mean? Where does it lead? Does kissing necessarily imply more, and if so how much? These and similar questions of amorous ethics and erotic disquisition are central to our everyday intimate public lives and they are the lost object of the law of love, the lex amatoria collated and presented here.
