The Roman de la Rose explicitly offers an 'art of love', while also
repeatedly asserting that the experience of love is impossible to
put into words. An examination of the intertextual density of the
Rose, with its citations and adaptations of a range of Latin
authors, shows that the discourse of bodily desire, pleasure, and
trauma emerges indirectly from the juxtaposition and conflation of
sources. Huot's new book focuses on Guillaume de Lorris's use of
the Ovidian corpus, and on Jean de Meun's dazzling orchestration of
allusions to a wider range of Latin writers: principally Ovid,
Boethius, and Virgil, but also including John of Salisbury and
Alain de Lille. In both parts of the Rose, poetic allegory is a
language that can express the unspeakable and the ineffable.
