Description
""Layamon's Brut or Chronicle of Britain"" is a literary work that was originally written in the 13th century by a poet named Layamon. This version of the work is a poetic semi-Saxon paraphrase of ""The Brut"" by Wace, a French poet who wrote a history of Britain in the 12th century. The book is divided into two volumes, and this particular volume was published in 1847. The work is considered an important piece of English literature as it is one of the earliest examples of Middle English literature. It tells the story of the legendary King Arthur and his knights, as well as the history of Britain from its mythical origins to the Norman Conquest. The poem is written in a semi-Saxon dialect, which is a mixture of Old English and Middle English, and includes many archaic words and phrases. The book is of interest to scholars of medieval literature, linguistics, and history, as well as to anyone interested in the legends and myths of King Arthur and the history of Britain.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
