This collection of essays presents an account of the Arthurian literature produced in Wales, in both Welsh and Latin, during the Middle Ages. Topics addressed include the "historical" Arthur, Arthur in early Welsh verse, the legend of Merlin, and the tales of Culhwch ac Olwen, Geraint, Owain, Peredur, The Dream of Rhonabwy, and Trystan ac Esyllt. Other chapters investigate the evidence for the growth of the Arthurian theme in the "Triads" and in the "Historia Regum Britanniae" of Geoffrey of Monmouth. There is also a discussion of the Breton connection and the gradual transmission of the legend to the non-Celtic world.
