Product Description
Review
`The scholarship embodied in this work is consistently high. It may assume its place as a standard in Arthurian and Welsh studies immediately.' (Speculum-A Journal of Medieval Studies) `...a collection of delightfully presented and elegantly written essays... all readers with an interest in Arthurian matters, whether students or established scholars, will recognise its importance.' (Synopsis) '...an ideal source book for students...' (Cambridge Medieval Celtic Studies) --Cambridge Medieval Celtic Studies
Product Description
This collection of essays presents an account of the Arthurian literature produced in Wales, in both Welsh and Latin, during the Middle Ages. Topics addressed include the "historical" Arthur, Arthur in early Welsh verse, the legend of Merlin, and the tales of Culhwch ac Olwen, Geraint, Owain, Peredur, The Dream of Rhonabwy, and Trystan ac Esyllt. Other chapters investigate the evidence for the growth of the Arthurian theme in the "Triads" and in the "Historia Regum Britanniae" of Geoffrey of Monmouth. There is also a discussion of the Breton connection and the gradual transmission of the legend to the non-Celtic world.

Well worth reading
7 Mar 2007
Format:Paperback
The Welsh version of Arthur, as opposed to the later French contamination! This is an interesting collection of scholarly articles by various authors, and is well worth reading for anyone interested in the development of the Arthurian legends.
