This study concentrates on the ways in which Jean de Meun, in imitation of Ovid, assumed the mock-magisterium (or mastership) of love. Alastair J. Minnis considers allegorical versus literalistic expression in the poem, Jean's provocative use of plain and sometimes obscene language, the challenge of its homosocial and perhaps even homoerotic constructions, and the problematic translation of literary authority from Latin into the vulgar tongue.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51666983485728,"sku":"NEW0198187548","price":278.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81LWhW9PMfL.jpg?v=1778955246","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/magister-amoris-the-roman-de-la-rose-and-vernacular-hermeneutics-0198187548","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
