Geoffrey of Monmouth Knihy

    Geoffrey z Monmouthu bol waleský duchovný a kľúčová postava britskej historiografie, ktorá významne prispela k popularite legiend o kráľovi Artušovi. Jeho najznámejšie dielo, Kronika britských kráľov, je považované za pseudo-historické, ale zároveň upevnilo mýtus o Artušovi v literatúre. Ďalšími významnými prácami sú Proroctvá Merlinove a Život Merlinov, ktoré ďalej rozvinuli legendy a mágiu spojenú s Merlinom. Dielo Geoffreyho z Monmouthu formovalo rané vnímanie britských dejín a legiend, a to napriek jeho fiktívnej povahe.

      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.
