Abstract:
This chapter looks at an episode in the fourteenth-century "Roman de Perceforest" with particular visual significance: the representation of feminine constancy by a magical rose. Courtly and misogynistic readings of this image are pitted against each other in the ensuing intrigue. [(c) Emma Campbell and Robert Mills. Reprinted with permission of Palgrave Macmillan.]
