El Cid: Bridging Centuries, Languages, and Disciplines

The Definitive Multilingual Edition for Comprehensive Teaching & Advanced Research

"The romances give us a strong sense of the way the material of the Cid’s life and deeds might have been stretched from short form to long form, and through different kinds of performance. Veach, with an eye to assembling a useful kit for the student, has added a selection of the romances or ballads that overlap [with the epic poem], using the same material. The effect is to remind us of the wealth of material that once existed... how much more can we imagine once existed as well?" — James Fenton, Former Professor of Poetry at Oxford University
The Times Literary Supplement

Stockcero is proud to present a true landmark in Hispanic literary publishing. For the first time, scholars and students have access to a comprehensive, three-volume collection that brings together the epic poem of El Cid, the associated romances (ballads), and the Latin Carmen Campidoctoris—the only poem known to be written during the Cid's actual lifetime.

With volumes available in the original medieval Castilian, modernized Spanish, and a poetic English translation, this collection offers unparalleled pedagogical flexibility. Guided by the scholarly authority of Alberto Montaner Frutos (editor of the RAE 5th Centenary edition) and the poetic sensibility of translator Dan Veach, this "useful kit for the student" is an essential acquisition for any college or university library and Hispanic Literature department.
