Description

Explore a unique piece of medieval history with The Chanson d'Antioche: An Old French Account of the First Crusade. Unlike many epic poems of its era, this work follows a well-documented historical event, offering substantial and genuine historical content for scholars and history enthusiasts alike. In this volume from the Crusade Texts in Translation series, Carol Sweetenham and Susan Edgington provide a deep investigation into the poem's origins. The authors examine the claims that the text was based on the accounts of 'Richard the Pilgrim', an eye-witness to the crusade. Through a comprehensive introduction, they trace the textual history of the poem from its possible oral beginnings through its development. This book serves as an essential resource for those studying the First Crusade and medieval literature. By combining historical analysis with textual investigation, the authors provide a clear look at how this epic poem relates to the actual events of the period. It is a vital addition to any collection focused on European medieval history and the Crusades.
