Arthurian material goof




Poster: "Stephanie M. Thorson" <smt2@st-andrews.ac.uk>

It has been tactfully pointed out to me that in my enthusiasm for the
early French Arthurian romances, I skipped right over the grandaddy of the
whole genre:  Geoffrey of Monmouth's _Historia Regum Britanniae_ (History
of the Kings of Britain), which predates Chretien de Troyes by a couple
decades.  Oops.  Geoffrey is cheaply and easily available in Penguin
translation.
