Romance of the Rose Selections
September 18, 2019
Welcome and great to see you all back! Here are initial selections for our discussion of The Romance of the Rose. I've used general line numbers since you all may be using different editions, and the English translation is becoming harder to find in print.
The key selections for The Romance of the Rose are:
- All of Part I (lines 1 - 4058); and
- For Part II, Discourse of Reason (lines 4059 - 7230)
From here on you can (optionally) concentrate on:
- Nature's Confession (lines 15891-19438)
- Genius's Solution (lines 19439-20703)
- Venus's Conflagration and the Winning of the Rose (lines 20704-21780)
