The Cid and His Spain (Routledge Library Editions: Muslim Spain)

Menéndez Pidal, Ramón

This study of El Cid, first published in English in 1934, is by the leading authority on the medieval history and literature of Spain. The Cid occupies a unique position among national heroes. Others such as King Arthur and Roland are but shadowy figures in the historical record, but El Cid is very much better documented. This book also paints a striking picture of eleventh-century Spain, bringing out the importance of the country as a link between Christian and Muslim civilization.

Flor nueva de romances viejos es fruto de toda una vida de trabajo de don Ramon Menendez Pidal (1869-1968). Entre las muchas deudas que la ciencia y la cultura espanolas tienen contraidas con don Menendez Pidal, destaca la de la recuperacion de las reliquias epicas y del Romancero. En una tarea que ocupo toda su vida, don Ramon fue conjugando las investigaciones en archivos, de los que saco a la luz joyas desconocidas, con el trabajo de campo por todas las regiones espanolas, recogiendo de labios de las gentes la tradicion ininterrumpida de la lirica popular. Fruto de ambos trabajos es este libro clasico, FLOR NUEVA DE ROMANCES VIEJOS, que recoge una seleccion de canciones epico-liricas de fondo heroico y caballeresco: historias de don Rodrigo, el Cid, o los Siete infantes de Lara; romances moriscos o de frontera?, todos ellos situados en su contexto y anotados criticamente para su cabal comprension.
