The History of the Kings of Britain by Geoffrey, of Monmouth

ISBN: 9780140441703 PUBLISHER: Penguin Books Ltd FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 384 PUBLICATION DATE: 25.01.1973 DIMENSIONS: 198mmX129mmX22mm 281grams

DESCRIPTION: Completed in 1136, The History of the Kings of Britain traces the story of the realm from its supposed foundation by Brutus to the coming of the Saxons some two thousand years later. Vividly portraying legendary and semi-legendary figures such as Lear, Cymbeline, Merlin the magician and the most famous of all British heroes, King Arthur, it is as much myth as it is history and its veracity was questioned by other medieval writers. But Geoffrey of Monmouth's powerful evocation of illustrious men and deeds captured the imagination of subsequent generations, and his influence can be traced through the works of Malory, Shakespeare, Dryden and Tennyson.
