Cantar de mio Cid
Poem of My Cid
8–12
This chanson de geste is considered Spanish
literature’s first narrative work written in
romance language. This song of heroic
deeds tells the epic exploits of a Castilian
gentleman named Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar.
Having lost his honor after being accused of
theft, the Cid will spend the final years of his
life fighting to regain his honor by conquering
the Moor kingdoms to the south of the
peninsula. An exceptional style and vibrant
episodes such as the conquest of Valencia
or the betrayal of the infantrymen of Carrión
make this a literary masterpiece. Included
are a comprehensive study of the work and
its time, in addition to explanatory notes to
help the reader follow and understand the
meaning of the work.

treacherous masters: a blind beggar, a miserly
priest, a bankrupt “gentleman.” This comic
tale, written in Spain in 1554, is a wickedly
artful satire full of extreme perseverance and
brazen self-promotion.
