Dreams of Lovers and Lies of Poets - Poetry, Knowledge and Desire in the 'Roman De La Rose'

Informationen zum Autor Sylvia Huot Klappentext The Roman de la Rose explicitly offers an 'art of love'! while also repeatedly asserting that the experience of love is impossible to put into words. In addition to its richly suggestive analysis of the complex relationship between sexuality and language in the Rose, Huot's study makes a distinctive contribution to criticism's long-standing quest after meaning in the poem. -- Helen Swift Medium Aevum 74, 2010 Huot's argument is lively and cogent. This slim, persuasive book leaves little meaning in any claim that creative immersion in the ancients was unknown until the Renaissance. It gives us a richly polymorphous reading of the Rose. -- William D. Paden French Studies 65.4, 2011, 516 Sylvia Huot's elegant study deftly traces how both Guillaume and Jean manipulate earlier authors, particularly Ovid, Boethius, and Virgil, to generate an exploration of the workings of sexual desire, a subject which can only ever be discussed imperfectly and implicitly. -- Jonathan Morton Modern Language Review 107.3, July 2012, 931-32 Zusammenfassung Dreams of Lovers and Lies of Poets: Poetry, Knowledge and Desire in the "Roman De La Rose" Inhaltsverzeichnis Dreams of Lovers and Lies of Poets: Poetry, Knowledge and Desire in the "Roman De La Rose"
