The Song of Roland is a classic epic poem that was first written down in the 11th century. This particular edition was translated into English by Arthur S. Way and first published in 1913. The poem tells the story of the Battle of Roncevaux Pass, which took place in 778 AD during Charlemagne's reign as king of the Franks. The main character is Roland, a brave and loyal knight who serves under Charlemagne. The poem follows Roland and his companions as they fight against an army of Saracens led by the treacherous King Marsile. Despite being vastly outnumbered, Roland and his men fight valiantly, but tragedy strikes when Roland blows his horn to call for reinforcements and the strain kills him. The poem is a powerful meditation on loyalty, courage, and the cost of war. Way's translation is considered one of the best and most accessible translations of the poem in English.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
