This study offers an introduction to an important branch of Spanish literature—the romance, or ballad. Although a great many of these poems have been translated into English by various authors, they are not generally known nor easily accessible. Collected here for the first time in a single volume is a broad and representative sampling of romances in translation that encompasses historical ballads (including those about Spain's greatest folk hero, el Cid), Moorish ballads, and ballads of chivalry, love, and adventure. For the collection, Shasta M. Bryant has written a perceptive commentary and critique in which he discusses the individual poems and compares the translation with the original; both texts are presented to facilitate comparison. For those who wish to pursue their reading further there is an index of romances that have been translated into English, along with the names of the translators. Although the text has been written with the non-specialist in mind, this book will be equally valuable for students of comparative literature and of medieval Spain.

Excerpt: ...craven soul can brook' (she 'gan reply) ' To leave behind Granada, --who hast not heart to die!--Now for the love I bore thy youth, thee gladly could I slay! For what is life to leave when such a crown is cast away 1' SEfjc meaty of Don STlonjo of The Catholic zeal of Ferdinand and Isabella was gratified by the external conversion at least of a great part of the Moors of Granada; but the inhabitants of the Sierra of Alpuxarra, a ridge of mountainous territory at no great distance from that city, resisted every argument of the priests who were sent among them, so that the royal order for Baptism was at length enforced by arms. Those Moorish mountaineers resisted for a time in several of their strongholds; but were at last subdued, and in great part extirpated. Among many severe losses sustained by the Spanish forces in the course of this hill warfare, none was more grievous than that recorded in the following ballad. Don Alonzo of Aguilar, was the eldest brother of that Gonsalvo Hernandez y Cordova of Aguilar, who became so illustrious as to acquire the name of the Great Captain. The circumstances of Don Alonzo's death are described somewhat differently by the historians. (See in particular, Mariana, Book xxvii., Chap. 6, where no mention is made of the Moors throwing down stones on him and his party, as in the ballad.) This tragic story has been rendered familiar to all English readers by the Bishop of Dromore's exquisite version of ' Rio Verde, Rio Verde!'
