DESCRIPTION:In the epic Song of Roland\, although some of Rolands's words 
 and actions are ridiculously wrong-headed\, the views of him from other ch
 aracters\, even the traitor Ganelon\, display Roland as generous and lovab
 le.  I will be referring to questions I asked myself and choices I made wh
 ile translating the Roland while a visiting fellow at Wolfson\, 2010-11.\n
