The thirteenth-century allegorical dream vision, the Roman de la
Rose, transformed how medieval literary texts engaged with
philosophical ideas. Written in Old French, its influence dominated
French, English and Italian literature for the next two centuries,
serving in particular as a model for Chaucer and Dante. Jean de
Meun's section of this extensive, complex and dazzling work is
notable for its sophisticated responses to a whole host of
contemporary philosophical debates. This collection brings together
literary scholars and historians of philosophy to produce the most
thorough, interdisciplinary study to date of how the Rose uses
poetry to articulate philosophical problems and positions. This
wide-ranging collection demonstrates the importance of the poem for
medieval intellectual history and offers new insights into the
philosophical potential both of the Rose specifically and of
medieval poetry as a whole.
