Wace's Brut is an 1155 French verse rendering of Geoffrey of
Monmouth's earlier Latin 'history' of Britain, from the time of
Brutus, the eponymous founder, to the seventh century. Wace uses
Geoffrey's stories, such as those of King Lear and King Arthur,
with a lively inventiveness and originality, drawing on oral
sources and his own knowledge of parts of Britain, imaginatively
re-interpreting the material. This is the first complete English
translation and is presented in parallel with the French text,
enabling those who wish to have access to the original to do so
easily. This new reprint has been revised by Judith Weiss, taking
account of comments in reviews, with more than 350 individual
changes to the translated text.
