`If any man or woman should ask what I wish this romance... to be
called, it is the Romance of the Rose, in which the whole art of
love is contained'. Guillaume de Lorris's own introduction to his
allegorical account of the progress of a courtly love affair gives
no indication of the eventual scale and scope of the work, which
became the most popular and influential of all medieval romances.
In the hands of Jean de Meun, who continued de Lorris's work, it
assumed vast proportions and embraced almost every aspect of
medieval life, from predestination to the right way to deal with
premature hair-loss. This new translation into modern English,
based on the French edition by Felix Lecoy, is intended as much for
the general reader as for students of French and English
literature. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's
Classics has made available the widest range of literature from
around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's
commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a
wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions
by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text,
up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
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.
