Primitive Love and Love-Stories

"Primitive Love and Love-Stories" by Henry T. Finck

Henry Theophilus Finck was an American music critic and author. Among «the most prolific and influential critics of his day.» In this book, he takes his critical eye and turns it to the sentiment of love. He begins by giving readers a short history of the beginning of love stories dating all the way back to the ancient Greeks and how they inspired future writers. He then moves on to how writing about love changed over time and even what romantic love can even be defined as.
