Guillaume (de Lorris)

The famous 13th century allegorical romance was begun by Guillame de Lorris, portraying the attempts of a courtier to woo his beloved and set in a symbolic walled garden. The work was finished after Guillame's death by Jean de Meun, who expanded the work into an encyclopedic and often satirical commentary on the many forms of love and courtship.

The Romance of the Rose

Geoffrey Chaucer

"The Romaunt of the Rose is a partial translation into Middle English of the French allegory, the Roman de la Rose. The story begins with an allegorical dream, in which the narrator receives advice from the god of love on gaining his lady's favour, her love being symbolized by a rose. The second part is a satire on the mores of the time, with respect to courting"--Abebooks website
