During the 13th and 14th centuries, medieval Castile produced some
of the liveliest, most sophisticated vernacular reworkings of
narratives inherited from classical and late antiquity, including
those about Alexander the Great, the Trojan War, or Apollonius of
Tyre. This study recovers the overlooked tradition of the Castilian
romances of antiquity, showing how these works offered a nuanced
reflection of the relationship between cultural memory, the media
through which memory is shaped and transmitted, and Castile's
imperial ambitions. Clara Pascual-Argente restores a genre of great
cultural and political importance to its rightful place in
Castilian and European literary history.
