Book Reviews of The Key to The Name of the Rose: Including Translations of All Non-English Passages (Ann Arbor Paperbacks)
Book Review: A vital book for reading The Name of The Rose
Summary: 5 Stars
The vast amount of Medieval referances and quotations from dozens of languages in "The Name of the Rose" meant that my slim knowledge of these subjects was wholly inadequate for understanding the novel as much as I would have liked. A book explaining these things to me was a necessity. Although I wasn't sure what to expect when I bought The Key to The Name of the Rose, I knew that anything would be of help. I was very pleased though when I saw the obvious passion with which the authors write about their studied text and the wide range of information given. An encyclopaedic overview of everything that is relevant to The Name of the Rose from the middle ages, with characters, institutions, events and creeds, and a detailed translation of all the quotes with notes on where the text was from and what it was about, are the two main sections but essays on Umberto Eco and Biblical symbolism are also included. Great help with my Advanced Higher English Dissertation!
