Writers of Wales: Geoffrey of Monmouth

£7.99

A book about Geoffrey of Monmouth, a twelfth-century cleric who was the first person to compose a detailed and continuous history of Britain from its origins to the domination of the Anglo-Saxons. His writings were enormously popular throughout the western European world, and he is justly credited with bringing ‘The Matter of Britain’ (including Arthur) to a much wider audience.
