Text and translation of key Arthurian text - a major source for
scholars. Written in the 1130s, Geoffrey's imaginative history of
the Britons from Brutus to Cadwallader, the first work to recount
the woes of Lear and the glittering career of Arthur, rapidly
became a bestseller in the British Isles and Francophone Europe,
with over 200 manuscripts surviving. Yet no critical edition of the
main version has appeared since 1929. This new text, for which 14
manuscripts have been collated in full, rests on a survey of the
entire tradition; it is accompanied by a facing English
translation, prepared especially for this volume. A comprehensive
introduction discusses the status of variant versions, the shape of
the main tradition, and many questions of editorial principle;
critical notes analyse some problems raised by the transmitted
text; and there is a full index of names. MICHAEL REEVE is Kennedy
Professor of Latin Emeritus at the Faculty of Classics, University
of Cambridge; Dr NEIL WRIGHT is a Senior Language Teaching Officer
at the Faculty of History, University of Cambridge.
