		Even in English, much of the poetry of Chaucer, Wyatt, Surrey Shakespeare and Donne is unthinkable without Petrarch —; in the popularisation of the sonnet sequence, in the intimate reference to antiquity and in the adoration of a human body and the feelings it inspires.

	Medieval Poetry Lecture Series (Institute of Chinese Studies, University of Heidelberg)
		Primary among such an examination is the mapping of the Daoist heavens and the discovery of the "love poetry" that we are often told does not exist in China.
		As readers of classical Chinese poetry, we too often focus on decoding the "meaning" of the text, paying little if any regard to the sound of the poetry—even though we recognize that, in the poetry of whatever language is native to us, phonetic and semantic elements play equal and complementary roles.
		Close attention to the (reconstructed) language of Li Bo's poetry reveals features of his verse that surely led to the high regard in which he was held by his contemporaries but which are hidden from those who "hear" his poetry in Mandarin.

	Reading the Book of the Heart from the Middle Ages to the 21st Century: a Valentine's Day feature
		The human heart has symbolized love and passion since ancient times, but only during the Middle Ages did it acquire the familiar shape and meaning it still has today as the universal logo of love that appears everywhere from Valentine cards and candy boxes to bumper stickers and popular songs.
		Medieval poets enshrined the heart as a symbol of human passion and popularized many romantic metaphors that we now think of as clichés—the "wounded" heart, the "broken" heart, the "stolen" heart, and so forth.
		Compared with the medieval Catholic Church, the secular courts celebrated a very different book of the heart—one filled not with divine commands or moral records but amorous memories and erotic feelings.
