About This Book

A scholarly survey traces the origin and development of the Arthurian tradition from the earliest historical notices and Welsh legend through Geoffrey of Monmouth and medieval chroniclers to the flowering of romance and later English literature. It examines surviving records and vernacular tales, considers the impact of French romantic scribes, distinguishes historical conjecture from literary invention, and shows how chroniclers, romancers, and poets combined sources to form the composite legendary figure. The work concludes with bibliographic guidance and additional notes on texts and scholarship.
