Editing Courtly love (section)

===Later influence===
Through such routes as Capellanus's record of the Courts of Love<ref>Helen Waddell, ''The Wandering Scholars'' (1968) p. 311</ref> and the later works of [[Philosophy of love#Petrarchism|Petrarchism]] (as well as the continuing influence of Ovid),{{sfn|Boase|Bornstein|1983}} the themes of courtly love were not confined to the medieval, but appear both in serious and comic forms in early modern Europe. Shakespeare's ''[[Romeo and Juliet]]'', for example, shows Romeo attempting to love Rosaline in an almost contrived courtly fashion while Mercutio mocks him for it; and both in his plays and his sonnets the writer can be seen appropriating the conventions of courtly love for his own ends.<ref>William C. Carroll ed., ''The Two Gentlemen of Verona'' (2004) p. 31</ref>

[[Paul Gallico]]'s 1939 novel ''[[The Adventures of Hiram Holliday]]'' depicts a Romantic modern American consciously seeking to model himself on the ideal medieval knight. Among other things, when finding himself in Austria in the aftermath of the [[Anschluss]], he saves a [[Habsburg]] princess who is threatened by the Nazis, acts towards her in strict accordance with the maxims of courtly love and finally wins her after fighting a duel with her aristocratic betrothed.
