Description
|
|
|
|
These anonymous Romances viejos—appearing here in dual-language format—are narrative ballads that were sung or recited in medieval Spain. These ballads tell of heroism, treachery, and love gone awry, and even when treating such foreign subjects as Lancelot, Charlemagne, and Helen of Troy, the works retain a distinctly Spanish flavor. Translator Stanley Appelbaum's notes explain the historical allusions of the romances as well as speculating on the origins of the poems themselves.
