Description: New examinations of the figure of Charlemagne in Spanish literature and culture.
Review Quotes: The volume as a whole makes a substantial contribution to the study of a literary tradition that is fundamental to Hispanic literature. It shows the constant updating of the legend, its capacity to serve as a point of reflection on contemporary themes, the centrality of questions of identity, both political and religious, and finally its inexhaustible capacity for literary inspiration. [...] this volume, edited by Bailey and Giles, should be compulsory reading for all those interested in the legend of Charlemagne and its presence in Spain.-- "Speculum"
