El lector tiene en sus manos la más completa edición del Cantar del Mío Cid, al que podrá acceder a través de varios niveles de lectura hasta alcanzar la total comprensión y disfrute del mayor exponente de la épica castellana.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The first of the great Spanish epic poems, the Cantar del Mío Cid not only recounts the exploits of Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar but also reflects the early stirrings of the Castilian spirit.
Spread by minstrels in town squares and castles, the poem is both an exaltation of the great values of honor and freedom and a vivid portrayal of the customs of the time. This edition of the Cantar del Mío Cid presents a journey through the exciting research on the Cid carried out by Menéndez Pidal: the mysteries surrounding the poem’s authorship, its date of creation, the historical reality it responds to, and more. Menéndez Pidal’s classic text, introduced by Martín de Riquer and accompanied by Alfonso Reyes’s prose adaptation, is complemented by annotations that blend the authority of this distinguished scholar with new contributions from Juan Carlos Conde, editor of this edition.
Readers hold the most comprehensive edition of the Cantar del Mío Cid, accessible through multiple levels of reading to achieve full understanding and enjoyment of the greatest example of Castilian epic poetry.
