Excerpt from The Romance of the Dreamer, and Other Poems From midnight visions - dreamings, To memory' 3 consecrated hour, Communings with a higher power When the wrapt soul would penetrate The workings of the hidden state. Oh night! Thou givest harmonies That thrill within the human breast, Like strange, but sweetest melodies, Breathed by the voices of the blest.

One of the most influential texts of its time, the Romance of the Rose offers readers a window into the world view of the late Middle Ages in Europe, including notions of moral philosophy and courtly love. Yet the Rose also explores topics that remain relevant to readers today, such as gender, desire, and the power of speech. Students, however, can find the work challenging because of its dual authorship by Guillaume de Lorris and Jean de Meun, its structure as an allegorical dream vision, and its encyclopedic length and scope. The essays in this volume offer strategies for teaching the poem with confidence and enjoyment. Part 1, "Materials," suggests helpful background resources. Part 2, "Approaches," presents contexts, critical approaches, and strategies for teaching the work and its classical and medieval sources, illustrations, and adaptations as well as the intellectual debates that surrounded it.
