Very odd, but popular medieval English work it survives in a (relatively) large number of manuscripts and is mostly fictional. It is an entirely remarkable book coming from a remarkable place, from the edge of Norman rule, it creates or assumes a new identity, rooted in the mythical past of Wales but looking deep into mainland Europe. Britain is the island of immigrants, but Merlin provides an autochthonous voice - naturally evil advisers try to trick the king into murdering him, but the boy Merlin outwits them and orders that a great pit be dug - in which the assembled notables see two dragons coiled together - all the symbolism bangs our heads on the notion of rootedness, which itself is a curious turn of events in a text dedicated to one of King Henry I's (many) bastard children. Not that Geoffrey suggests that the new comers graft themselves onto the ancient root stock, no in a twist he uses the career of King Arthur - specifically the part were he rampages with a victorious army across France to demonstrate political continuity despite changing identities - the Norman Kings did as the Angevin kings would do - just as Arthur did and project power out deep into mainland Europe from among the deep roots of the mountains of Wales. National unity in this telling is not about shared ancestry but combination in a common (aggressive) cause. It is a slightly odd vision maybe and yet at this time such voices from the fringes were carrying odd legends deep into the European mainstream which pop up in Chrétien de Troyes among others to haunt our imaginations for centuries to come.

This book is not only about Or It is about a bunch of crazy people that lived throughout the history of Britain, all the way to the time this book was written (and the hopeful return of the Once and Future King), from the Trojans to the Anglo-Saxons, with a lot of myth mixed in. The book itself is very inaccurate, but it has early accounts of King Lear and Arthur Pendragon, so I do not care how imprecise it is, I love it. I mean, Monmouth said that "someone gave him the text for him to translate." This is required reading for every Arthurian-Legend-Lover-Because-It-Is-Amazing-Because-I-Say-So!!!
