[From Notes: Although The Song of Roland developed into a legend, perhaps through stories told by veterans of Charlemagne's expedition into Spain, perhaps through efforts of local monks to entertain pilgrims passing through the monasteries and sanctuaries on the route through the Pyrenees to Santiago de Compostella, The Song of Roland is based on historical fact.Content Versus Possibility: There is not a copy of the original poem extant today. It has been impossible to find even the smallest fragment which could have been written immediately following the battle. It is probable that the Franks honored their forebears and their famous commanders during their lifetimes, or immediately after their deaths, in short lyric compositions which became narrative and epic in nature. An early epic work would have been expanded and elaborated upon. Later authors would have appeared, retold the text adding their individual touches until finally received written form. It is generally agreed that The Song of Roland was written toward the end of the eleventh century. Whatever may have been the actual development of the poem itself, it is obvious that the content of the poem extends beyond actual historical fact. In short, history became legendary.].

In den WarenkorbPaperback. Zustand: Very Good. A rather minor, self-published verse telling of portions of the epic. No offense to Ms. Worden. Essential for the complete collection of editions of the Song of Roland, however. Very good. Tangerine wraps as issued. No date. Circa 1965.
