The History of the Kings of Britain(ISBN=9780140441703) 下载 极速 rtf epub 在线 word txt pdf

　　Completed in 1136, "The History of the Kings of Britain"

traces the story of the realm from its supposed foundation by

Brutus to the coming of the Saxons some two thousand years later.

Vividly portraying legendary and semi-legendary figures such as

Lear, Cymbeline, Merlin the magician and the most famous of all

British heroes, King Arthur, it is as much myth as it is history

and its veracity was questioned by other medieval writers. But

Geoffrey of Monmouth's powerful evocation of illustrious men and

deeds captured the imagination of subsequent generations, and his

influence can be traced through the works of Malory, Shakespeare,

Dryden and Tennyson.

　　Very little is known of Geoffrey of Monmouth. He seems to have

lived for a time in Oxford and in 1151 he became Bishop Elect of St

Asaph, North Wales. He was ordained at Westminster in 1152.

According to the Welsh Chronicles he died in 1155. Lewis Thorpe was

Professor of French at Nottingham University from 1958 to 1977. He

has published many books and articles on Arthur, both on the French

and English traditions. He died in 1977.
