Le roman de la rose - Tome I by de Lorris Guillaume and de Meun Jean
"Le roman de la rose - Tome I" by Guillaume de Lorris and Jean de Meun is a medieval French allegorical poem written in two parts between 1230-1269. Guillaume de Lorris began this dream vision about a lover's quest to reach a rose in an enchanted garden. Jean de Meun later expanded the work dramatically, transforming it into a philosophical discourse that challenges courtly love ideals through cynical observations about women, nature,
nobility, and religious hypocrisy. This immensely popular work survives in hundreds of manuscripts. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
