Description
Wace's Roman de Brut is an English prose translation of a foundational work in medieval historiography. First adapted from Geoffrey of Monmouth's Latin History of the Kings of Britain, this poem has had a lasting impact on the development of Arthurian history and literature. The Roman de Brut was a key influence on later works, including anonymous verse Bruts and the Anglo-Norman Prose Brut, as well as shaping the Middle English Brut tradition. This volume presents an introduction, notes, bibliography, summary, list of manuscripts, and indexes to facilitate understanding of Wace's innovative work, which introduced King Arthur's Round Table. A valuable resource for scholars and readers interested in medieval history and literature, this translation is accompanied by essential supporting materials.
