The Romance of the Rose

connection between two people Despite all this, The Romance of the Rose has its merits Once I stopped expecting the many allegories to form a cohesive story and treated them instead as a puzzle of

an interest in medieval texts and particularly in those that express courtly love or fin amours, whichever you thinkaccurate It s one massive allegorical dream sequence, the work of two writers, and
