about

Recorded in 2010 at the University of Montana as part of an independent study for the Modern and Classical Literature and Languages Department.

From World Digital Library:
"The Roman de la Rose, “wherein the whole art of love is contained,” was one of the most widely read literary works of the Middle Ages. An allegorical poem composed in the French—meaning Romance—of the 13th century, it was celebrated already in the 16th century as a national classic. The first 4,058 lines of the poem were written by Guillaume de Lorris in around 1230. Jean de Meung wrote an additional 17,724 lines in around 1275. The work is at once a courtly song, a story of initiation, and a literary game employing mirages, metaphors, and other literary devices. The author, who speaks in the first person and embodies L’Amant (the Lover) in the story, travels in a dream to a beautiful orchard inhabited by Déduit (Pleasure) and his companions, Jeunesse (Youth), Richesse (Wealth), Liesse (Jubilation), and Beauté (Beauty). Courtly ideals, personified, are the real actors in the fable, which recounts the adventures of the Lover as, having fallen under the laws of Love, the all-powerful master, he must avoid the traps of Male Bouche (Foul Mouth), Dangiers (Danger), and Jalousie (Jealousy) to win his lady, The Rose. Around 300 manuscripts of the Roman de la Rose have been preserved around the world."
