Description

Explore the complex literary connections between the twelfth-century writer Walter Map and the thirteenth-century Lancelot-Grail Cycle. In this work from The Middle Ages Series, Joshua Byron Smith investigates why this sprawling French prose cycle was attributed to Map, a writer known for his religious skepticism, ghost stories, and sharp wit. This study provides a new way to understand how narratives regarding the pre-Saxon inhabitants of Britain, including the legends of King Arthur, were developed and preserved. As the first English-language monograph dedicated to Walter Map, this book offers deep insights into the Anglo-Welsh borderlands and the evolution of Arthurian legends through a scholarly lens.
