Excerpt from Studies and Notes in Philology and Literature, Vol. 10I have interpreted the term Arthurian material as including everything that appears in the pseudo-history of Britain from the accession of Constans, whom Geoffrey introduces as the son of the second Constantine and elder brother of Aurelius and Uther, to the death (or disappearance) of Arthur. At first thought this may seem to be beginning too early, but the discussion will make it clear, I think, that the stories of Arthur's immediate predecessors are too intimately connected with his own to be separated from it.I have meant to make my investigations complete, as nearly as circumstances allowed, for the chronicles of Great Britain and France.' I do not claim to have treated those of other countries adequately, though I doubt if anything further of real importance to the subject is to be found in them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
