It shows that medieval poems often reveal a pattern in which an individual moves from selfish to selfless concerns, and how this movement is incited by love, while fulfilled through virtue. By taking into account the English and Scottish cultural contexts, as well as other traditions of writing, the book shows how the ideas on human well-being were disseminated and adjusted to meet cultural changes. In this, the book contributes to a discussion on what constitutes \"mindful\" or \"virtuous\" living, a discussion that is as relevant today as it was in the Middle Ages.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLove and Moral Perfection\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLove and Reason. \u003ci\u003eThe Romaunt of the Rose\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Goldyn Targe\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLove and Necessity.
