Description
For the first time in English, Mark Walker presents a verse translation of the twelfth-century epic poem by Geoffrey of Monmouth, the originator of many of the Arthurian legends familiar to us today. Here is the original Merlin - a mysterious and mad character inspired by ancient Welsh legends.
But he is also a king, a prophet, and a modern Renaissance man.
This brand-new translation casts Geoffrey's Latin into accessible English hexameter verse, giving readers a feel for the rhythms of the original.
The extensive introduction sets the poem in the context of Geoffrey's life and writings, while each chapter opens with helpful background material.
Turn back the pages of time and discover the mythical, magical world of the original Merlin.
