The Song of Roland is a book in the Riverside Literature Series Number 157, edited by Isabel Butler. This book is a translation of the French epic poem, La Chanson de Roland, which tells the story of the battle of Roncevaux Pass in 778 AD. The poem is a classic example of medieval literature and is considered one of the most important works of the French literary canon. The book includes an introduction by Butler that provides historical context for the poem and discusses its significance in the literary and cultural traditions of France. The translation itself is faithful to the original text and captures the poetic beauty and emotional power of the story. The Song of Roland is a must-read for anyone interested in medieval literature, French culture, or epic poetry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
