Jean de Meung
(redirected from Jean de Meun)

    Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.18 sec.

Jean de Meung (c. 1240–c. 1305)

French poet. He is best known for his remarkable 18,000-line continuation, written about 1277, of the Roman de la Rose begun by Guillaume de Lorris. With Jean de Meung the allegory becomes a vehicle for giving forthright critical views on topics such as government, monasticism, and women, allowing him to display his wide scholarship. Other works include translations from Vegetius and Boethius.
