Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Arthurian Epic: A Comparative Study of the Cambrian, Breton, and Anglo-Norman Versions of the Story and Tennyson's Idylls of the King

The true character and aim of the Arthurian cyclus of romances has been so thoroughly misunderstood, not only by the popular mind, but by many who, otherwise, are well informed, that I shall consider my time and labour well expended, if I can aid in dispelling the popular misconception and, in even the slightest degree, help in restoring this national epic to its rightful place in the esteem of intelligent men.

In the composition of this work, I have made free use of the materials that already existed although, in every case, where it has been necessary to do so, I have verified statements of fact, and have, at times, departed widely from the conclusions adopted by others.
