Description

This volume brings together a number of distinguished scholars in the field of 'Poema de mio Cid' studies. It provides an informed introduction to key literary aspects of the poem, and thoroughly examines many of the complex issues that are crucial for a comprehensive understanding of the work (historical context, ideological motivations, prosification in medieval chronicles, the poem?s place in the canon of Spanish literature). Equally important are the new findings that have been put forward since the 1970s, when scholars started to challenge Ramón Menéndez Pidal?s theories that had dominated the philological discourse since the beginning of the twentieth century.
