Abstract
Following the theories of R. Menéndez Pidal on the Cantar del Cid and the Occidental epics, the author of this paper reviews the main publications on the Spanish cantares de gesta (epic poems), from 1955 to 2005. A total of 30 books and many other articles show the course that this kind of studies have followed during the past half century. This paper is complemented by a brief referente to the studies on the Romanic epic poetry in Spain during the same period.
