"Raoul de Cambrai" is one of the most violent and passionate poems
of the cycle of barons in revolt. The three relationships that
structure medieval society - companionship, feudalism and the
family - are here seen in crisis. Conflicts of interest, and the
competition for resources, result in social disintegration,
wholesale loss of life and the collapse of authority. The poem,
probably composed around the turn of the 13th century, results from
successive reworkings that weave a many-layered commentary on its
own moral and political themes. This edition draws on some material
unknown to the text's previous, 19th-century editors. It is
prefaced by a scholarly introduction and accompanied by an
annotated translation in English prose.
