The Romance of the Rose has been a controversial text since it was written in the thirteenth century. There is evidence for radically different readings as as early as the first half of the fourteenth century. The text provided inspiration for both courtly and didactic poets.

On one hand it was praised as an edifying treatise, on the other condemned as lascivious and misogynistic.Kevin Brownlee and Sylvia Huot and the contributors to this volumePierre-Yves Badel, Emmanuele Baumgartner, John V.
