| Abstract | The Roman de la Rose can be considered one of the most successful and influential vernacular texts of the European Middle Ages. It had not only a huge influence on French literature, but also on the literature of the surrounding countries. Adaptations of the poem survived in English, Italian, and Dutch. In this session, we will examine the themes of money and gift-giving in the French Rose and how these ideas were received in translations, adaptations, and subsequent works in different languages. Also manuscripts containing a version of the Rose will be discussed, as they are important reception testimonies. Paper -b is co-authored by Hanne Jaeken. |
