About “The Romaunt of the Rose”
The Romaunt of the Rose is a partial translation into Middle English of the French allegorical poem Le Roman de la Rose. It was originally believed to be the work of Geoffrey Chaucer, but 19th-century scholars disputed this after finding differences in style compared to Chaucer's other writings. The text contains three distinct translation fragments—A, B, and C—that together translate about one-third of the original French poem. The Romaunt is considered a significant literary work, though its authorship and composition remain subjects of scholarly debate. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
