Editorial Reviews

Destined to become a standard reference on a major topic of medieval studies, cites over 2,700 works of medieval literature and modern scholarship on the origins, development, and impact of the legend of Charlemagne. Covers the historical Frankish emperor of the eighth and ninth centuries, the medieval chronicles and biographies, and the three main gestes and related romances, including both fictional and scholarly treatments of particular events, characters, and themes. The texts cited--contemporary, medieval, and modern--are in most of the European languages of their time. Also provides a list of primary texts by language. Annotation c.
