Cupid became a popular figure in sixteenth-century England, appearing in drama, paintings and lyric poetry. This book argues that Cupid's rise to cultural prominence was a response to the Protestant Reformation, and the debates it provoked about the 'Catholic' sins of lust and idolatry and the legitimacy of female rule.
