SUMMARY

Drawing their inspiration from Spanish history and legend, from the French chansons de geste, and from Greek and Roman stories, the romances viejos selected for this superb collection are the Spanish counterpart of the narrative ballads sung and recited in other parts of Europe in the late middle ages. The Spanish ballads are notable for their ringing, rhythmical sixteen-syllable lines and for their gripping tales of heroism, treachery, honor, and love sometimes gone disastrously awry. The 53 verse narratives included are realistic in style and range in length from a few lines to a few hundred. All -- even those with foreign backgrounds -- are set in a distinctive Spanish milieu as they tell of kings and holy men, Charlemagne and his peers, Helen of Troy, Vergil, Lancelot, and other figures. This dual-language anthology, with excellent literal translations on pages facing the Spanish original, will provide students and scholars with much previously unavailable material and will be invaluable for classroom use and home study.
