The Song of Roland (Book Analysis)
Résumé
This engaging summary presents an analysis of The Song of Roland, an anonymous 12th-century epic poem which takes the legendary ruler Charlemagne’s nephew Roland as its hero. As Charlemagne’s troops return from fighting in Spain, they are ambushed by the Saracens, having been betrayed by the treacherous Ganelon. Charlemagne swears revenge, and a series of adventures ensue in this face-paced verse narrative. The Song of Roland is perhaps the most famous of the chansons de geste, and was one of the first literary works to be written in the vernacular rather than in Latin. Its influence eventually spread across Europe, inspiring a range of translations and adaptations.
