5.0 out of 5 stars
A seminal source particularly recommended for college library world history collections,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The History of the Kings of Britain: An edition and translation of the De gestis Britonum (Historia Regum Brittannie) (Arthurian Studies) (Paperback)
Originally written in the 1130s, "The History of the Kings of Britain" is Geoffrey of Monmouth's history of the Britons from Brutus to Cadwallader is one of the first texts to relate the travails of Lear and the legend of Arthur. Now this classic text is reprinted in its first critical edition since 1929; each two-page spread features the original Latin text on the right page and the English translation on the left page. A seventy-six page introduction, a wealth of footnotes, and an index round out this remarkable classic text. "The History of the Kings of Britain" is a seminal source particularly recommended for college library world history collections.
