Since the Roman de la Rose had tremendous influence on the poetry
of the fourteenth century, particularly on the works of Deschamps,
Machaut, Froissart, and Chaucer, Professor Fleming maintains that
it is important for the modern reader to understand what this
influential moral satire meant to readers of the medieval period.
Basing his interpretation in part on iconographic analysis of the
illuminations found in more than one hundred manuscript copies of
the poem, he advances a "medieval" reading of the poem. Other tools
used by Mr. Fleming to get at the meaning of the poem include a
study of the mythographic tradition, a logical and rhetorical
analysis of the text, and an examination of formal exegetical
documents of the late Middle Ages, especially the Old French
commentary on the Echecs Amoureux. Originally published in 1969.
The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These editions preserve the original texts of these important books
while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase
access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of
books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in
1905.
