Le Roman De La Rose [French]

By Guillaume de Lorris and Mã(c)on

Le Roman de la Rose is a medieval French allegorical poem written in Old French and presented as a dream vision. The work is notable as an example of courtly literature, discussing the art of love, exploring themes of desire, seduction, and the nature of relationships. This edition includes a dissertation, analysis, and glossary, providing a comprehensive understanding of the text.

The poem's enduring appeal lies in its exploration of human emotions and social dynamics within the framework of a richly symbolic narrative. Guillaume de Lorris began the poem around 1230, and Jean de Meun continued it around 1275, resulting in a work of considerable length and complexity. This edition offers readers the necessary tools to navigate and appreciate the nuances of this seminal work of French literature.
