Abstract
Abstract The Querelle de la Rose is perhaps the best-known literary debate of the late medieval period. This early fifteenth-century epistolary quarrel was largely provoked by the controversy surrounding Jean de Meun‘s portrayal of women in his continuation of Guillaume de Lorris‘s Roman de la Rose. As a purportedly ‘real ‘ debate, this Querelle will provide a contrast with the fictitious literary debates I discussed in Chapter 1. Its development within chancery milieux was fostered by an existing climate of literary and practical debating in contemporary French and Italian court society.
