Lewis Spence surveys and retells the romantic literature of Spain, from the cantares de gesta and the Poem of the Cid to Amadis de Gaul and its sequels, the Palmerin romances and Catalan tales. Later chapters cover Roderic, the last of the Goths, the romanceros or ballads, Moorish romances, Spanish magic and sorcery, and comic tales.
A colourful guide to the chivalric world that Cervantes later mocked, for lovers of legend and medieval Spain. Download the free EPUB.
