Literatura y folklore en las leyendas post mortem del Cid

Abstract

This article focuses on the critical analysis of posthumous legends of el Cid from a multidisciplinary heuristic approach by combining the study of its ancestral folkloric traces with the support of comparatistics in order to appreciate the literary and anthropological worth of these stories. A trip to the Great Beyond which will reach the end of the 19th century, when a legend with a clear Becquerian influence appeared, the analysis of which will allow us tounderstand this article as a research on medieval literature but, also, to frame it within the current trends of neomedievalism by analysing the transmission of medieval topoi and their current expression.
