Publisher's Synopsis
The Song of Roland is a classic epic poem that tells the story of the Battle of Roncevaux Pass, where the French army, led by Roland, was ambushed by the Muslim Saracens. Originally written in Old French, this edition, translated by Charles Scott Moncrieff in 1919, is done in the original measure, preserving the poem's unique rhyme and meter. The translation is faithful to the original text and captures the spirit of the medieval epic, with its themes of chivalry, honor, and loyalty. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in medieval literature, epic poetry, or French history and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
