The Romaunt of the Rose is a Middle English translation of the Old French poem, Roman de la Rose, a significant example of allegorical love poetry. This edition presents the text with scholarly apparatus, offering valuable insights into the language and literary context of the work. Attributed in part to Geoffrey Chaucer, though authorship is debated, the poem explores themes of courtly love, desire, and the nature of romance through symbolic characters and settings.

Edited by Frederick James Furnivall and William Thynne, this volume provides a critical resource for students and scholars of medieval literature, Chaucerian studies, and the development of the English language. The poem remains a cornerstone of medieval literary study, illuminating the cultural and artistic values of the period.
