Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Origines Et Sources du Roman de la Rose
Le Roman de la Rose est, sans nul doute, un des monu ments litteraires les plus importants du moyen age; nean moins, il a peu occupe l'attention des savants qui, depuis quelques annees, se sont consacres a l'etude de notre vieille litterature ce n'est pas qu'on ait mis en doute son interet; ou a hesite plutot a entreprendre un travail d'aussi vastes proportions. Trois parties de ce travail me parais sent devoir plus particulierement profiter a l'histoire de la litterature, ce sont une edition repondant aux exigences de la science actuelle, la recherche des sources du poeme, l'etude de son in?uence sur la litterature des siecles suivants.
