«Flor nueva de romances viejos» is Ramón Menéndez Pidal's anthology of romances, published by Austral in paperback (264 pages, in Spanish).
The book brings together a selection of old romances, epic-lyric poems from oral tradition, which Menéndez Pidal rescued both from archives and from fieldwork across Spain. It includes historical and border romances, with protagonists such as don Rodrigo, the Cid or the Seven Infantes of Lara, annotated and contextualised.
Work originally published in 1928; Austral reissued it in 2000 in its Poesía collection.
For readers interested in the romancero, traditional poetry and the literary history of Spain.
Ramón Menéndez Pidal was a Spanish philologist and historian. He worked extensively on the history of the Spanish language and Spanish folklore and folk poetry. One of his main topics was the history and legend of El Cid. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in 26 separate years, the most nominations of any other person.
