Synopsis
The Song of Roland is a classic epic poem that was first written down in the 11th century. This particular edition was translated into English by Arthur S. Way and first published in 1913.

The poem follows Roland and his companions as they fight against an army of Saracens led by the treacherous King Marsile.
