This book examines how the legends surrounding Charlemagne's knights evolved as they traveled from France to Italy. The author traces the transformation of these tales, exploring how they were adapted to suit Italian tastes and sensibilities. By comparing the original French chansons de geste with their later Italian counterparts, the author sheds light on the complex process of cultural exchange and assimilation that shaped the development of European literature.
