Excerpt from The Romance Cycle of Charlemagne and His Peers The following study has been designed as a companion to the earlier essay on "King Arthur and his Knights." No series dealing with Mediaeval Romance could claim to be in any sense complete were the great cycle which gave an impetus to the evolution of European romantic literature omitted. A complete account is as yet hardly possible however; many of the principal texts are still unedited, and students are largely dependent upon travaux d'ensemble completed many years ago.
