La Chanson de Roland, presented here in the original Old French alongside a rhythmic and assonanced translation, is one of the oldest and most important works of French literature. This edition, with an introduction and notes by L. Petit de Julleville, offers a valuable resource for students and scholars alike. The poem recounts the heroic death of Roland at the Battle of Roncevaux Pass during the reign of Charlemagne. It explores themes of chivalry, loyalty, and the clash between Christianity and Islam. Its enduring popularity stems from its vivid depiction of medieval warfare and its powerful portrayal of heroism and sacrifice.
