SynopsisA translation into English by A. S. Kline Published with illuminations, courtesy of the British Library Jean de Meung (c1240-c1305) wrote a long continuation (dated to between 1268 and 1285 by internal references) to this, the original Roman de la Rose. Jean claimed that it had been conceived by Guillaume de Lorris (c1200?-c1240?) some forty years earlier. Guillaume, it is presumed, came from the village of Lorris, near Orléans, in France; otherwise nothing is known of his life. Clearly he was educated and literate, and therefore likely to have been of the minor aristocracy. He produced in this Romance a dream allegory of courtly love, in a poetic, reflective and elegant style, but his world-view is also shrewd, with his reflections on love partly derived from Ovid's Ars Amatoria: The Art of Love. Here Guillaume's work is allowed to stand free of the later work, as an epitome of the allegorical style and a fine development of the courtly tradition of 'fin amour'. This and other texts available from Poetry in Translation .
