Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Main Currents of Spanish Literature
The heroic material that concerns us first took form in Old Spanish, which, by the 12th century, had so far progressed in its evolution out of popular Latin, as to have become a fit medium for poetic expression; and this material deals with the soldiers and Chieftains Of the Christian kingdoms - Castile, Leon, Navarre and Aragon, but particularly Cas tile - that had been carved out of the territory saved or wrested back from the Moorish invaders during the long period from the fall of Roderick the Goth in 711 down to the 12th century.
