In Queen Elizabeth I's court in the late fifteenth century there was a sharp decline in the popular use of the heavily stylized, aristocratic type of love known as fin amour, or courtly love. It therefore became less guarded by the elite and more accessible to its appropriation by socially disadvantaged groups who could capitalize upon the remaining respect/nostalgia that courtly love still evoked in literature. This dissertation examines three early modern works written by authors from socially disadvantaged groups that modify courtly love in specific ways that push its definition to be more socially inclusive, and thus push their audiences to reexamine the value of these groups. Francis Beaumont's The Knight of the Burning Pestle examines honor and implies that genuine honor is encouraged by the middling sort and their distinguishing set of values; Mary Wroth's Pamphilia to Amphilanthus advocates a derivation of courtly love that emphasizes emotion and complexity to make the position of a courtly lover possible for women; Richard Barnfield's homoerotic sonnets encourage an aesthetic perspective on love, distancing his work from moral judgement.
