Abstract
In this year-long Independent Study, we have read and analyzed literature about romantic love from many different cultures. In our studies, we have approached questions including: Why has love always been integral to humanity? How do different cultures define love? Is there any agreement about what love is across culture? How do modern definitions of love derive and deviate from those of the past? In our presentation we will explain highlights from our research and share excerpts from authors including Euripides, Plato, Rumi, Shakespeare, Austin, Neruda, Updike as well as contemporary sociological research from Jonah Lehrer and Eric Klinenberg.
