Dr. Albrecht Classen teaches TRAD 104: Eroticism &amp; Love in the Middle Ages as one of the large Centennial Hall class offerings. Dr. Classen was going to be out of the country during the second week of classes. So what could he do to cover his class while he was gone? The solution: create a special video to show students during their regular class time. For this class he and grad student James F. Howell reviewed illuminated manuscripts from the medieval ages, courtly love poetry in the wider social context, troubadours, and in particular by the first troubadour Guillaume le Neuf.
