Many English-speaking readers of the Roman de la rose, the famous dream allegory of the thirteenth century, have come to rely on Charles Dahlberg's elegant and precise translation of the Old French text. His line-by-line rendering in contemporary English is available again, this time in a third edition with an updated critical apparatus. Readers at all levels can continue to deepen their understanding of this rich tale about the Lover and his quest--against the admonishments of Reason and the obstacles set by Jealousy and Resistance--to pluck the fair Rose in the Enchanted Garden. The original introduction by Dahlberg remains an excellent overview of the work, covering such topics as the iconographic significance of the imagery and the use of irony in developing the central theme of love. His new preface reviews selected scholarship through 1990, which examines, for example, the sources and influences of the work, the two authors, the nature of the allegorical narrative as a genre, the use of first person, and the poem's early reception. The new bibliographic material incorporates that of the earlier editions. The sixty-four miniature illustrations from thirteenth-and fifteenth-century manuscripts are retained, as are the notes keyed to the Langlois edition, on which the translation is based.

The famous 13th century allegorical romance was begun by Guillame de Lorris, portraying the attempts of a courtier to woo his beloved and set in a symbolic walled garden. The work was finished after Guillame's death by Jean de Meun, who expanded the work into an encyclopedic and often satirical commentary on the many forms of love and courtship.

The first English translation of this famous poem in the original meter, handsomely illustrated with 15th century woodcuts. Around 1237 Guillaume de Lorris wrote the first 4,000 lines of the Romance of the Rose: an allegorical poem which was intended to be a model and summary of all love affairs. A man has a dream that he is out for a walk on a spring morning and comes upon a beautiful garden. Inside the garden, he sees a beautiful rose. Straightaway, Cupid pierces his heart with an arrow and fills him with the desire to pluck the rose. But the Rose is surrounded by a hedge of thorns, and guarded by Danger, Jealousy, Shame, and Fear. With the help of Fair-Welcome, the Lover kisses the Rose, but then the guardians drive him away, build a palisade around the Rose, and lock Fair-Welcome in a tower. Guillaume de Lorris died before finishing his work, and the world was left to wonder if the lover, trembling with bliss, had ever done more than kiss the rose. Forty years later, however, Jean Clopinel de Meun decided to finish the book. He wrote an 18,000 line continuation into which he poured his Rabelaisian humor, his vast learning, his anticlericalism, and his complete and utter contempt of romance. The resulting work, uniting the Middle Ages' most beautiful love story and their heartiest satire, was one of the most widely read books in Europe for centuries. Despite the Romance's popularity and influence, it is little known in English. Chaucer translated Guillaume de Lorris' portion of the poem, but only completed a thousand lines of Jean's. A complete translation, in the original meter, was made in 1900 by F. S. Ellis, the friend of the pre-Raphaelites and of William Morris. Mr. Ellis' translation is faithful and lively, capturing all the varied moods of the original, from tenderness to broad humor. However, he altered the ending of the book, as it was too bawdy for the tastes of his day. The original Old French text is given in an appendix, and we believe that those who can read it will agree that Mr. Ellis was justified in leaving it thus obscure. This edition is illustrated with 87 woodcuts from a copy printed in 1487. The cover image is from the Kelmscott Chaucer and does not appear in the book. Rossignol Books is proud to present rare medieval works in handsome yet affordable editions. www.rossignolbooks.com

In 1401, Christine de Pizan (1365a 1430?) wrote a letter to the provost of Lille criticizing the highly popular 'Romance of the Rose' for its unwarranted misogynistic depictions of women. Here, Hult collects debate documents, letters and excerpts from other works of Pizan, including one from 'City of Ladiesa' her major defense of women.

This book reproduces in colour, with commentary and full contextual discussion, all the miniatures from unpublished illuminated manuscripts of Le Roman de la Rose in the National Library of Wales. A central work in medieval culture, the Rose was among the most consistently illustrated of medieval secular texts. By presenting all the illuminations from all five illuminated Aberystwyth manuscripts the present study enables absorbing comparisons to be made. This is a book that will stir controversy through its scepticism about moral readings of Rose illustrations and through its insistence on an "accidental" element in the interpretative value of miniatures in secular texts. It will interest anyone who studies art and literature, including students of Chaucer - a poet who absorbed the Roman de la Rose to the core by translating it. The reader is first introduced to the narrative and to characteristic sites of illustration within it. The introduction goes on to identify existing published sources of reproductions, and then to argue the crucial role that a grasp of the practical circumstances of production should play in interpreting medieval miniatures. A final complementary chapter formally describes all seven Aberystwyth Rose manuscripts.
