Description

Explore a significant piece of medieval literature with this critical edition and translation of the Gesta Regum Britannie. Published by Boydell Press, this work offers a deep look into a 13th-century Latin poem from Brittany that serves as a retelling of Geoffrey of Monmouth's famous history. The text focuses on the tragic aspects of Britain's decline, providing a unique perspective on the era. Comprising nearly 5,000 hexameters, this poem is a vital witness to how Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britannie was received. Written shortly before the middle of the thirteenth century and dedicated to Cadioc, the bishop of Vannes in Brittany, the work reflects the specific Breton reaction and enthusiasm for this popular pseudo-history. This edition is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in medieval European history and the reception of historical texts.
