Love has a history, and Edgar Saltus writes it like a novelist with a dagger. From ancient Babylon through Greece, Rome and the age of chivalry to modern times, Historia Amoris follows the idea of love as it changes costume down the centuries. Epigrams glitter on every page; the erudition is real. The past's love life, elegantly exposed.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
