Sinopse

Le Roman de la Rose is a medieval French allegorical poem. It is notable for its exploration of courtly love, its use of allegory, and its significant influence on later literature. This edition, edited by Ernest Langlois, is based on manuscripts and offers readers a critical perspective on the text. The poem, begun by Guillaume de Lorris around 1230 and completed by Jean de Meun between 1269 and 1278, is an extended dream vision.
