Kategorie:
our series on Arthuriana continues as we move past introductions and start talking about the stories that make up the early part of the Arthurian canon, known as the pre-Galfridian (aka before Geoffrey of Monmouth). these stories survive to us in Welsh and Latin from roughly 600 to 1135 AD and show how the Arthurian legend was being built using other existing tall tales to flesh out the narrative and was then contextualized alongside real, historical events to give it a veneer of legitimacy. The stories we cover today include: Culhwch & Olwen, Pa Gur, Preiddu Annwfn, Historia Brittonum, Annales Cambriae, and Gesta Regnum Anglorum. Next week will focus on Geoffrey of Monmouth.
