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.
