	The romance of the rose
		The rose was a symbol of life because of its beauty, a symbol of death because of the inevitable withering of its blooms and a symbol of eternal life because of its association with the Gods.
		This correlates with the Grail as the Heavenly Rose of redemption, and is cognate with the chivalric ideals.
		In the Almadel of Solomon the angel guardians of the Eastern altititude are crowned with roses.

	Romance of the Rose: Review
		If we ask why the Rose is the subject of such intense critical response by later readers, especially medieval poets themselves, we find the answer to this question in the realization that it is itself critical, especially in Jean de Meun's continuation.
		The Rose is poetry that is also critical in its belatedness or posteriority, in the sense of these terms that psychoanalytically informed critics recognize (the most famous of whom, I suppose, is Harold Bloom).
		Hence the anxiety in the Rose as in all belated poems with the status of the author: the author's agency is always subject to unpredictable intervention by the textual precedence in which s/he himself would intervene.

		Terry and Durling present the often disparate views of modern medievalists such as Michel Zink, Roger Dragonetti and Henri-Rey Flaud in such a manner as to be easily understood by students without sacrificing either the often opposing and nuanced positions of these critics or their own views of both the text and the critics' positions.
		Terry and Durling's introduction to this rather thorny "rose" is, in short, as good an introduction to a medieval text as I have read in a long time.

	REVIEWS The Briar and the Rose by Romance Author Laura Mills-Alcott
		THE BRIAR AND THE ROSE is a charming retelling of an ancient fable.
		THE BRIAR AND THE ROSE is a rich and inviting tale that brings readers an engrossing and multi-layered romance with a haunting and poetic back-story that is expertly interwoven with the main narrative.
		THE BRIAR AND THE ROSE is a strong historical paranormal romance that brilliantly uses nineteenth century tidbits (and to a lesser degree from the 1600s) to anchor the otherworldly elements into a warm tale that readers of both sub-genres will relish.

	Louise Van Hine: Romance of the Rose
		The glosses serve three purposes: 1) to help shape the action of the Romance; 2) to preserve the double image of the poem and to clarify the meaning of the allegory as it progresses; and 3) to relate the Romance to the body of classical literature and to contemporary romances for ironic effect.
		Throughout the second part of the Romance, there is a greater concentration on and awareness of the Lover's state of mind, as his involvement with the campaign for the Rose becomes more complex.
		The success of the Romance lies in the preservation of the double image, the return from the literal level to the allegorical, which occurs at the conclusion of each successive gloss.

	The Rose, the poem
		Indeed, his rose is often "capricious", sometimes "vain" and in all cases "not very modest".
		This text tells the tale, through fiction, of an autobiographical musing, themes of lyrical courtship, a sort of poetical synthesis of the fin'amor, a complex and subtle art of loving, in which the allegory is used with much lightness.
		On the contrary, courtly poetry in the Middle Ages, regarded the rose as the symbol of earthly love, although it was pure, sublime, and of an almost mystical essence.

	Guillaume de Lorris' Romance of the Rose and medieval garden design
		Even earlier than Guillaume de Lorris the scene of several Latin and French love tales was laid in a garden, but it was his Romaunt of the Rose that fixed and incorporated the traditional descriptions, in which successors scarcely ever made any alteration even in details.
		Artists could not attempt much from the ordinary general descriptions given in the books that they were to adorn with miniatures, and they could not seek refuge in the poets’ subterfuge, that the beauty of their subject was beyond all words; so they took actually existing gardens as models.
		We owe our clearest conceptions of the gardens of this period to the miniatures painted for the Romaunt of the Rose and its imitations, and also for the prayer-books, which in the North maintained the traditional forms of the Middle Ages right through the whole of the fifteenth century.
