{"product_id":"the-romance-of-the-rose-philip-knox-9780192847171","title":"The Romance of the Rose and the Making of Fourteenth-Century English Literature","description":"The \u003cem\u003eRomance of the Rose\u003c\/em\u003e had a transformative effect on the multilingual literary culture of fourteenth-century England, leaving more material evidence for late medieval English-speaking readers than any other vernacular literary work from mainland Europe. This book examines its decisive effect on English literature of the fourteenth century, and new literary experiments it provoked from writers such as Geoffrey Chaucer, John Gower, William Langland, and the author of \u003cem\u003eSir Gawain and the Green Knight\u003c\/em\u003e. Linking the English afterlife of the \u003cem\u003eRose\u003c\/em\u003e to a host of ongoing cultural developments in mainland Europe, \u003cem\u003eThe \u003c\/em\u003eRomance of the Rose\u003cem\u003e and the Making of Fourteenth-Century English Literature\u003c\/em\u003e reveals the deep interconnectedness of English and European literary culture. Examining courtly, clerical, and classicising orientations towards the text, it presents new arguments for the place of the \u003cem\u003eRose\u003c\/em\u003e at the centre of fourteenth-century English literature, and explores its rich manuscript history to reveal new evidence about the cultural significance of this love allegory from thirteenth-century France. The chapters avoid an author-centred approach, arranging readings of the \u003cem\u003eRose\u003c\/em\u003e and its relation with English literature in constellations that reveal complex unfolding inter-relation of the diverse readings of the \u003cem\u003eRose\u003c\/em\u003e that took place in fourteenth-century England.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Knox\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0192847171\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780192847171\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/17\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.80h x 5.10w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2023","brand":"Philip Knox","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44054774546687,"sku":"9780192847171","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_86d2bd33-0f68-49c3-923b-f2b280f7e9d8.jpg?v=1685031916","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-romance-of-the-rose-philip-knox-9780192847171","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
