No other literary character or historical figure has sustained such widespread popularity for so long a time, and for someone whose very existence is in doubt, Arthur has had a remarkable influence over the course of Welsh, English, and indeed European history, literature, and culture. In his new translation of the medieval Welsh tales of Peredur, Owain and Geraint, John K.
