“I don't usually post reviews, but had to go through so much trouble to find a blank verse translation of this poem, and this is it...”
xploits were celebrated in ballads, songs, and stories — most famously, in the twelfth-century epic, Poema de Mio Cid.One of the few Christian heroes of the Spanish Reconquest to be known familiarly by a Muslin title (from the Spanish Arabic al-sid, or "lord"), the Cid is presented as a hero perfectly suited to medieval Spain. Valiant in battle and loyal to his king, he is portrayed as an exemplary hero and vassal. His legend is embodied in the Poema de Mio Cid — the only Castilian epic poem that has endured in its essentially original form. This dual-language edition features a new translation of two-thirds of the Poema, with full English summaries of the omitted sections.
