Reviews for The Romance of the Rose: Third Edition
"This is a readable and reliable line-by-line translation of the Roman de la Rose, based on Ernest Langlois's 1914-24 edition. The first in modern English prose, it is particularly valuable for its faithful rendering of the imagery of the original on which ... so much of the poem's irony depends."
