Book Description
Excerpt from The Early Editions of the Roman De La Rose I hope that this overgrown booklet will be found to justify its existence, if not its size, by providing a full and trustworthy account of its special subject, and further by setting forth in detail a typical fragment of French book-history - the story of one among the numerous non-religious works whose period of popularity coincided with the transition from the Manuscript to the Printed Book. This, and the desire to do just honour to a great but now neglected poem, must be my excuse for making so large a book concerning the twenty-one editions of a single work. I have long been interested in the Roman de la Rose and its bibliography; but the moving impulse towards the undertaking of this task was the desire to solve the puzzle of the first three - or, as Brunet thought, four - editions, and decide their order of priority. After I had got some way in working out this question for myself, I became aware that M. Claudin had settled the matter on other lines, mainly typographical; and had his great work, and especially the Lyons portion of it, appeared some years ago, this monograph would not have been written.

"The Romaunt of the Rose is a partial translation into Middle English of the French allegory, the Roman de la Rose. The story begins with an allegorical dream, in which the narrator receives advice from the god of love on gaining his lady's favour, her love being symbolized by a rose. The second part is a satire on the mores of the time, with respect to courting"--Abebooks website

Book Description
Arguably the single most influential literary work of the European Middle Ages, the Roman de la Rose of Guillaume de Lorris and Jean de Meun has traditionally posed a number of difficulties to modern critics, who have viewed its many interruptions and philosophical discussions as signs of a lack of formal organization and a characteristically medieval predilection for encyclopedic summation. In Fortune's Faces, Daniel Heller-Roazen calls into question these assessments, offering a new and compelling interpretation of the romance as a carefully constructed and far-reaching exploration of the place of fortune, chance, and contingency in literary writing. Situating the Romance of the Rose at the intersection of medieval literature and philosophy, Heller-Roazen shows how the thirteenth-century work invokes and radicalizes two classical and medieval traditions of reflection on language and contingency: that of the Provençal, French, and Italian love poets, who sought to compose their "verses of pure nothing"in a language Dante defined as "without grammar," and that of Aristotle's discussion of "future contingents" as it was received and refined in the logic, physics, theology, and epistemology of Boethius, Abelard, Albert the Great, and Thomas Aquinas.Through a close analysis of the poetic text and a detailed reconstruction of the logical and metaphysical concept of contingency, Fortune's Faces charts the transformations that literary structures (such as subjectivity, autobiography, prosopopoeia, allegory, and self-reference) undergo in a work that defines itself as radically contingent. Considered in its full poetic and philosophical dimensions, the Romance of the Rose thus acquires an altogether new significance in the history of literature: it appears as a work that incessantly explores its own capacity to be other than it is.

Book Description
Around the year 1400, the poet Christine de Pizan initiated a public debate in France over the literary "truth" and merit of the Roman of the Rose, perhaps the most renowned work of the French Middle Ages. She argued against what she considered to be misrepresentations of female virtue and vice in the Rose. Her bold objections aroused the support and opposition of some of the period’s most famous intellectuals, notable Jean Gerson, whose sermons on the subject are important literary documents. "The Quarrel of the Rose" is the name given by modern scholars to the collection of these and other documents, including both poetry and letters, that offer a vivid account of this important controversy. As the first dual-language version of the "Quarrel" documents, this volume will be of great interest to medievalists and an ideal addition to the Routledge Medieval Texts series. Along with translations of the actual debate epistles, the volume includes several relevant passages from the Romance of the Rose, as well as a chronology of events and ample biography of source materials.
