It is interesting that he can manage an essay of such length without mentioning Stendahl, whose _On Love_ isn't that hard to find--wasn't before Amazon, actually. One trusts that Ms.es Hatfield and Tennoy found room for him in the bibliography.
And what in the world might be the proposed derivation of "limerence"? Wikipedia offers no hint, though it does use the word "crystallization", which Stendahl I believe popularized in this context.
- pmichaud 16y agoI'm thinking it comes from "liminal," which is a big concept in literature.
- julius_geezer 16y agoI was hoping it came from "limerick", a not-so-big concept in literature, but your guess sounds better than mine.
