The anonymous text of The Song of Roland is the expression of European Medieval west, between the VIII and beginnings of XII centuries, considering that the author has created a fictional history, in which the time and the space of these two periods have disappeared to give context to the idealized hero and the Crusades knight. We chose for an approach about the marvelous in the referred literary work, once this work and this theme awakened us enthusiasm when we realized that there was an appropriated "space" for some discussions about the subject. To achieve the aim to understand the Christian marvelous, according to some readings, and perceive the marvelous in different statements, by modern purposes, a bibliography search was developed in different theoretical perspectives of the gender in authors like Aristóteles, Jolles, Todorov, Bessière, Chiampi, Le Goff, Poirion and others. We are yet based on historical data collected in renowned authors, as Franco Jr., Le Goff, Grimberg, among others, which theoretical pre-suppositions were material to our analytic reading of the text The Song of Roland. This proceeding helped the comprehension of the relations between the literary text and History; between the hero that entitles the literary work and the hero of the myth who gives origin to the Song. Our reading found possibilities to approach the marvelous in the text by different statements of the gender, and observed the context social and cultural of its creation. We concluded, in this sense, that the text of the Song gives support to a double focus of reading: one is from the text, the discourse itself; another from the context, based on political, social and cultural elements, turned to the construction of the marvelous. Through this dissertation we aimed, too, to preserve the memory of this masterpiece and stimulate to new studies, especially those ones directed to literature, as there is much more things to be searched and studied.
