The Symbolic Rose

By Barbara Seward

Book Overview

Barbara Seward reads western literary history through what is perhaps its most enduring -- and most endearing -- symbol. The rose is secular and divine love; Apuleius's ass and the Virgin Mary; beauty, youth, joy, and sorrow at the world's transience.
