Penguin, 1957, Vintage paperback - Mediaeval French heroic poem - 206pp.

The Song of Roland is a book of poems by an anonymous author. It depicts a gory French tale of war, where General Charlemagne was ambushed in a remote Pyrenean pass, showcasing a symbolic struggle between Christianity and Islam.

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, animated by the crusading spirit and fortified by national and religious propaganda.

The Song of Roland offers fascinating insights into medieval ideas about heroism, masculinity, religion, race and nationhood which were foundational for modern European culture.
