Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Casciani and Kleinhenz perform a valuable service to the field of general medieval studies with this well-constructed volume. It could be used as a textbook in the classroom, yet the translation can also serve as a research guide. It gives scholars the pertinent information to compare the Fiore with the French original; it delineates the recent scholarship on the texts; and it provides a useful and thorough bibliography. This work should open up these two Italian poems to students and researchers in the English-speaking world."--Speculum-A Journal of Medieval Studies

Reseña del editor:

This is the first English translation of Il Fiore, the late-thirteenth-century narrative poem in 232 sonnets based on the Old French Roman de la Rose, and the Detto d'Amore, a free-wheeling version of many Ovidian precepts of love in 240 rhymed couplets. The elaborate allegory of the Fiore presents the complex workings of love, understood primarily as carnal passion, in the human psyche through the use of personifications of a wide array of characters who engage in various social (and bellic) interactions. There are personifications of social stereotypes and attitudes, mythological figures, abstract qualities, psychological and physical states, and personality traits.
